On Saturday, April 20, 2024, in St. Peter’s Basilica at 6:00 p.m., 25-year-old Lorenzo Colombo was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Rome, the pope’s diocese. At the Mass celebrated by the outgoing Vicar of Rome, Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, 11 new priests were ordained for the diocese, the same number as in 2023 and 2022.
At 25 years old, Father Lorenzo is now the youngest priest in the Italian capital’s diocese and is serving as an assistant pastor at a church on the western outskirts of the city.
Born in 1998, he entered Rome’s minor seminary at 13 years old and then moved to the major seminary when he turned 18.
