PRIESTHOOD ORDINATIONMeet the three men of the Diocese of Toledo who are being ordained to

the priesthood on Saturday, May 26, 2018.

DEACON KYLE GASEI am Deacon Kyle Gase, 32 years old, from St. Wendelin Parish in Fostoria. I am going to be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Toledo on May 26 by Bishop Thomas, along with my two classmates. This will be the culmination of 9 years of seminary formation –four years of undergraduate studies at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, and five years of graduate theological studies at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in Cincinnati. I am sincerely looking forward to serving Our Lord as one of His priests, and especially serving the good people of the Diocese of Toledo in parish ministry. I humbly ask for your prayers as I approach ordination. Who knows –I may be blessed to serve you as your parish priest someday!

DEACON SCOTT PERRYHello, my name is Deacon Scott Perry. I am originally from Tiffin, and my home parish is St. Joseph. My parents, Roger and Jane, live in Tiffin, and I have three younger siblings – Emily, Kevin, and Kaitlin. I graduated from Calvert High School in 2006 and from Ohio State University in 2010 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. It was during college when I began to feel a strong call to the priesthood. In 2011, I entered formation at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Cincinnati where I have been the past 7 years. What a blessing it has been to encounter so many people along my journey at the various parishes and places where I have served as a seminarian. I am very excited for my ordination to the priesthood

and am grateful for all of your prayers and encouragement as I take this important step in answering God’s call for my life.

DEACON ANDREW WELLMANNHello! My name is (Deacon/Father) Andrew Wellmann. I am from Saint John the Evangelist Parish in Delphos, Ohio. After graduating from Delphos St. John’s in 2009, I attended Ohio Northern University for one year. My seminary formation began at the Pontifical College Josephinum and concluded at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary of the West. The kindness, generosity, and unwavering support from so many throughout our diocese have made these years of prayer and study possible and fruitful. Thank you for supporting me and all of my brother seminarians during our years of discernment. Trusting in your continued prayers, I eagerly anticipate serving as a priest in our diocese. Know of my prayers for all of you as I joyfully approach the altar of God.
