Archbishop of Sevilla ordains Ignacio Cervera as priest and Alberto Gaitán as deacon

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses ordained Ignacio Cervera as a priest and Alberto Gaitán as a deacon on Saturday, October 10, at the Sacred Hearts Parish in Seville. Both men belong to the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

During the liturgy, Archbishop Saiz Meneses told the newly ordained men that the ministry is a gift for the Church and the world rather than something belonging to the recipient. He encouraged them to prioritize prayer and intimacy with Christ over apostolic activity to avoid falling into mere activism. The archbishop specifically urged them to be men of God before being men of action.
