Chicago Archdiocesan Vocation Association

Fr. Byron Macias, CMF, was ordained to the priesthood on July 29, 2017. Bishop William Medley of Owensboro, Kentucky, presided the ordination along with Fr. Rosendo Urrabazo, CMF, Provincial Superior for the Claretian USA-Canada Province.
 
The ordination took place at Fr. Byron’s parish, Saints Peter and Paul in Hopkinsville, KY, where he worked as a lay minister; he found his missionary vocation while working there. Byron worked there since 2004 as Director of Hispanic Ministry.
 
Now, Fr. Byron has been assigned as Assistant Vocation Director for the Claretians. He was assigned also to Claretian Hispanic Ministry Publishing Resources and Escuela Biblica Claretiana in Chicago.
 

Fr. Byron has been collaborating with CAVA since 2015, from which he has learned many valuable lessons from very hardworking and creative religious women and men.
 
Please pray for him and all CAVA members as they continue working for the sake of new vocations to religious life.
