On May 21, 2011 in the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Denver, Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., ordained eight men to the priesthood to serve the Denver Archdiocese.
Ordained were Fathers Michael Bodzioch, Geronimo Gonzalez, Brian Larkin, John Nepil, Gregg Pedersen, Brady Wagner, Grzegorz Wojcik and Dennis Garrou. Father Garrou is the first married man to be ordained a priest in the Denver Archdiocese.
