Oh what joy!!!! We met "brother" Simeon through the Community of St. John while in world youth day 2005 in Cologne and he left such a profound impression on my husband and I. We have always desired to know where God led him after his time of formation with the Community only to hear this morning that Fr. John Therese, brother Gabriel and brother John James were just coming back from his ordination just brought such amazing joy and awe at God's hand in his life. We rejoice in this ordination of a beautiful man and we hope that he showers the Saginaw Diocese with as much of the Father's love as he emanated with us in the brief time we spent with him. May God's grace, mercy and love always fill his heart and his ministry. We would love to know which parish he is assigned to in order to reconnect!!!

I was thrilled to hear of the ordination of Fr. Prentice Tipton. I knew Prentice during my days in Ann Arbor. The Diocese of Saginaw has gained a wonderful man in the priesthood. My congratulations and prayers go out to Fr. Prentice.

I also knew Prentice years ago in Ann Arbor. He was like a "big brother" as well as, my lay pastor in the Lord. I am very proud to know of his many accomplishments and wish God's blessings on him as he walks out his calling as a newly ordained priest.
Congratulations Father Prentice!
