Like father, like father: Dad and son ordained Catholic priests



Chuck Hough the third (left) and fourth (right) are Deacons from the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. They are a part of 60 Anglican priests who will become Catholic priests within the next year. Six will be ordained Saturday morning at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. It may be the first time a father and son have been ordained in the same Mass.

KELLER - A tall, young man dressed in black kneels before the alter at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Keller.

"Do you promise respect and obedience to your Ordinary?"

"I do," the young man responds.

It's rehearsal for the ordination ceremony to become a Catholic priest.

Father: Bless me son for I have sinned.
Son: Geez, that's an understatement Dad!

...she'd either send him to military school or the seminary. I (jokingly) said the seminary sounds good because if he got ordained she could go to him for confession. After a few minutes of that she said military school for him.
