The Diocese of Raleigh proudly welcomed its newly ordained priest, Father Nicolas Rapkoch, in a beautiful and uplifting ceremony at the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral in Raleigh on June 3. Presided over by Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama, the ordination served as a significant milestone in Father Rapkoch's journey of faith, marking the beginning of his sacred mission to serve the Catholic community of Eastern North Carolina.
The Foundation of the Diocese of Raleigh congratulates Father Rapkoch on his ordination and prays for his success as he begins his ministry. May he be a source of inspiration, comfort, and spiritual guidance to the faithful, and may his presence within the Diocese of Raleigh strengthen the bonds of love and faith throughout our Diocesan community.
