Toronto's priestly fraternity grows by two as Marrone and Lemieux are ordained

Chris Lemieux (foreground), a 40-year-old from Georgetown, Ont. and Francesco Marrone, a 30-year-old originally from Verona, Italy were ordained by Cardinal Collins at St. Michael's Cathedral May 12.

TORONTO - Big families, big dreams, big faith and big love all came together  at St. Michael's Cathedral May 12 for two men chosen from the Catholic faithful for a lifetime of service to the sacraments and the body of Christ.

Francesco Marrone, a 30-year-old originally from Verona, Italy, and Chris Lemieux, a 40-year-old from Georgetown, Ont., received holy orders at the hands of Cardinal Thomas Collins, the archbishop of Toronto, before 1,000 people on a sun-drenched spring Saturday morning.
