Fr Shawn Tunink Priesthood Ordination



The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas has a new priest - Fr. Shawn Tunink. Archbishop Naumann announced publicly at the Mass that Fr. Shawn is assigned as the new parochial vicar for Most Pure Heart of Mary Parish in Topeka, Kansas. Today's liturgy was extraordinarily beautiful at our St. Peter's Cathedral. The staff from Camp Tekakwitha was there praying, as well as the Little Sisters and Brothers of the Lamb, a mendicant order from France that is just taking up residence within our Archdiocese. The Litany of the Saints was again a high point of the liturgy. It was easy to tell that Shawn had worked on selecting the individual saints whose intercession was invoked - they were divided into sections! A good two hours spent. May Fr. Shawn be a good and zealous priest of Jesus Christ! The picture of the monstrance here is a picture taken by Shawn at the site of the tragic accident that took the lives of Shawn's fellow seminarians, Matty Molnar and Jared Cheek, in 2005.
