Wow is right. Chris Alar is ordained to the sacred priesthood. We've got the story, the photos, and the videos from the weekend celebration.

How a Marian seminarian stays connected with his benefactors

To help cultivate the bumper crop in vocations, the Marians have sent in Fr. Jim McCormack, MIC.

Known as the Marians' "Energizer bunny," Deacon Chris Alar, MIC, will soon be called Fr. Chris Alar, MIC.

The Marians' Vocation Director, Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, challenges retreatants with his vision of the Marian call.

"I'm totally at peace that this is God's will for my life ..."

"It would be cool to be a fireman and save people from fires," the young Allen told his great aunt. But she had a better idea.

"In the world today, there's such a big battle for their souls."

Brother Chris Alar, MIC, is now "Deacon Chris Alar, MIC," after his Ordination Mass on Saturday at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.
