Father James Bankston was ordained to the priesthood in Chicago on December 6, 2004 at the hands of Bishop Richard in the presence of his entire family and many friends and parishioners. Please remember him as he begins his priestly ministry in Chicago in the very near future. - father michael

"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
