Fr. Dominic Agyapong speaks at the Rite of Candidacy held for seminarian Zack Mazurek at St. Sebastian in Bessemer on Aug. 10, 2021.
“[The Eucharist] is a privilege. It is a privilege and a blessing for me to share in the ministry of Jesus Christ. I’ve been selected and consecrated to be His instrument, so it is a joy for me, to be a minister of the sacrament that saved the world. The Eucharist, for me, is my strength. It is a source of joy, and is the source of who I am, it is my purpose and meaning in life.”
