Future priests benefit from experience in Rome
Future diocesan priests David Carrano and Greg Ihm say the last four years studying in Rome have been an exciting and enriching experience.
The two will be ordained to the transitional diaconate on October 8, 2009, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Archbishop Robert J. Carlson of St. Louis, Mo., will ordain about 30 men from the Pontifical North American College (NAC) in Rome.
On June 25, 2010, Carrano and Ihm plan to be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Madison by Bishop Robert C. Morlino in Madison.
