On Saturday, April 7 hundreds of people gathered at the parish of Nuestra Señora de la Luz in the Santa Luzmila Comas neighborhood of Lima, Peru.  The faithful gathered in the evening to celebrate the    presbyteral ordination of Tomás Chamaya, C.PP.S., a Missionary of the Precious Blood serving in the Peruvian Mission.  Bishop Daniel Turley Murphy, O.S.A., bishop of Chulucanas presided at the liturgy.  

The newly ordained priest was definitively incorporated into the Congregation on January 21, 2006 and has served in a variety of assignments in the Peruvian Mission.  Fr. Tomás joins ten other priests and one brother who are ministering to the People of God in Peru.  May God continue to bless Fr. Tomás and the Peruvian Mission.
