Together with three friends from the same seminary, the two were ordained priests by Bishop Gianfranco Agostino Gardin, Bishop of Treviso, northern Italy.
During the ordination Mass for the five new ordinations, Bishop Gianfranco Agostino Gardin said he was glad that the diocese had overcome the period of vocation shortage.
And even more joyful at the event that two twin brothers were ordained to the priesthood. He called it a "strange story of the four directions", a very rare thing witnessed for the first time in his life.
During the opening Mass at the parish where they were born and baptized, the new twin priests concelebrated together.
Preaching during Mass, Father Giacomo thanked his twin brother, saying: “Thank you, Davide, because for me you are a twin brother, my companion on the road and friend. really mine.
Blessed priest Pino Puglisi said: 'God loves us, but always through someone'. Especially for me, you are one of those people.
In our first Mass, let us look to the Lord, the only rock and hope.
May God always live in you, and fill you with strength.”
The Church does not lack priests, but always lacks holy priests, let us always remember to pray for the Church to have many holy priests so that Father's Name may be glorified and Father's Kingdom may come. Amen.
