Archbishop Wilton Gregory ordained Father Patrick Agustin, Father Nathanael Anderson, Father James Glasgow, Father Jeremy Hammond, Father Emanuel Lucero, Father James Morrison, Father Francisco Rodriguez, Father Stefan Yap and Deacon Nicholas Morrison for the Archdiocese of Washington during a June 20 Mass of Ordination at St. Catherine Laboure Church in Wheaton, Maryland.  The ordinations were scheduled to be held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., but the Mass was held at the Maryland parish because coronavirus restrictions on the sizes of public gatherings had not yet eased in the District of Columbia by that date.
