From Catholic Standard:
A standing-crowd filling the aisles of the largest Catholic church in the United States witnessed the largest ordination class in The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington in 64 years, as Cardinal Wilton Gregory ordained 16 new priests for the archdiocese during a June 15, 2024 Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Those 16 new priests constitute the largest ordination class in the Archdiocese of Washington since 1960, when 17 men were ordained in the year that John F. Kennedy was elected as the nation’s first Catholic president.
