...God willing, I will be face down on the floor of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston being ordained as a Priest of Jesus Christ for the Archdiocese of Boston.
What is left for me between now and then?
1) Wait for my Call to Order from Cardinal Sean.
2) Send out invitations once I receive that letter.
3) Complete 2 papers as Finals for courses.
4) Finish up Seminary on May 6th.
5) Vacation in Orlando with some family members.
6) Canonical retreat in Milton with my diocesan brothers.
7) Get my parish assignment the night before ordination

The Final Stretch
We started classes again today after Easter break. This is the final stretch for the year for all of us and the final stretch, period, for some of us. May 6th will be the last day of classes. May 23rd will be, God willing, my ordination to priesthood.
The remaining workload does not look overwhelming, primarily because I worked hard before break to complete many of the papers that will be due. There will be finals, of course, even though they will not be during finals week for us. At the end of the evening on May 6th, we are free to leave. I will be leaving for a short vacation with the family at a certain resort in Orlando, but I will be back to Weston to pack up.
After vacation, a day or two to pack, then a canonical retreat with my diocesan brothers, dinner with the Cardinal to receive my assignment, then Ordination the next morning. I have 10 days to complete my preparations port ordination and start my assignment on June 2nd.
