Father Ryan Mann watched “with awe and reverence” as the seventh priest in seven years from his home parish of St. Mary’s in Hudson, Ohio, received holy orders from the bishop. “Not just seven and seven,” he thought. “But seven in seven in the wake of the year the Church just had in America.” Father Daniel Samide was ordained the seventh priest from St. Mary’s parish, along with eight other men for the Diocese of Cleveland, on May 18, by Bishop Nelson Perez. Cleveland’s Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist was packed to overflowing, with people out on 9th Street, to celebrate the joyous occasion.
