Janine Denomme of Chicago and Marty Meyer-Gad of Minnesota will be ordained Roman Catholic priests in Chicago April 10, according to a press release from RomanCatholicWomenPriests.org. Joan Clark Houk of Pittsburgh, Penn., will be the presiding bishop.
Denomme and Meyer-Gad will join almost 70 other women priests, including five bishops and seven transitional deacons.
Denomme—a former youth program director at Center on Halsted whose partner is Cook County Circuit Court Judge Nancy Katz—has been sidelined in recent months with stage four cancer. She has chronicled her life at CaringBridge.org.
