From The CBC-The number of Catholic priests in Canada has fallen sharply in recent decades, so any ordination is a rare event.
But Friday's example of the sacrament in Saint John was particularly unusual — because the new priest was surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"It's something that I've wanted to happen for a number of years and it's finally happened," said Father Richard Harris. "It's a great privilege and a great responsibility too."
Harris wiped away tears of joy as he was ordained by the Bishop of Saint John, surrounded by his large family, including his wife Maggie.
