To Muth and Joe, I don’t think this article mentions anything about him being ordained as a priest. Mshamshono means it’s a rank among the deacons.
The day Gheevarghese Semassen become a priest will be a very happy and joyous occassion for the Church … but that won’t be tomorrow on March 7th. Tomorrow is his ordination to full deacon, which is still very much a reason to give thanks to God
FYI- Semassen will be ordained to Full Deacon tomorrow, not Priest
