20 years ago, today, I was ordained by Bl. John Paul II in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Happy Anniversary Father!
20 years of ontological change!!!!
Ad multos annos Father
A great milestone anniversary.
Te Deum Laudamus !!!
Congratulations, dear Father. We are all very grateful for your priestly life, and praise God for the service you do for our Lord and Holy Mother Church. May you always be blessed richly.
Congratulations Father Z! And may you have many more healthy years.
Congratulations!
Ad multos annos!
Ad multos annos, and congratulations, Father. God grant you many years!
Happy Anniversary Father!
Congratulations Fr. Z! Sorry to repeat what I posted a few minutes ago, but I appreciate your efforts – your blog and podcasts are wonderful!
Ad multos annos! May God grant you to perform your office in a manner pleasing to Him, and so grant you a good defense before the fearful judgment seat of Christ. Priests face a terrible scrutiny; but, as the Venerable Bede says, a priest gains crowns and adornments for himself in the next life, and more sublime rewards, for each soul he helps to reform and shepherd into Paradise. God have mercy upon you, and upon His priests everywhere.
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations, Father.
May you continue for long, fruiful years in your inspirational ministry in the service of God.
Tu es Sacerdos in Aeternum!
Greetings on your anniversary! Many more years!
Happy Anniversary, Father Z!
If it wasn’t for you and your blog, it would have been a lot longer than 10 years until I made it back to the confessional, let alone going regularly, I would have no clue the EF ever existed, let alone attend it whenever possible, still be receiving communion in the hand because “receiving on the tongue is eww gross,” completely oblivious to liturgical abuses, and thinking On Eagles’ Wings and Gather Us In are completely acceptable liturgical songs for Mass.
Fr. Z.,
Congratulations and may God grant you many more years of service. And to another well known priest ordained the same day, may God bless him always. Prayers for both of you!
Thank you for your service to Holy Mother Church Fr Z :)
Ad multos annos!!!
Happy Anniversary!
Ad multos annos, Father! Thank you for your generosity in your sacrifice. God reward you for all the souls you help.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary, Father! May God bless you for all the wonderful work you do.
Happy Anniversary, Father!
God Bless You, Father!! Thank you for your wonderful service to the Church. You are in our prayers today.
Dear Father Z,
My wife Margaret and I join all those others in congratulating you and wishing you a very, very Happy Anniversary. We remember you in our prayers and are much comforted by the knowledge that you pray for all your readers. God bless you and reward you.
Michael Ryan.
Happy Anniversary Father.
And how come I can see this movie and not any of the others (I have a Mac and all the others say “missing plug-in” probably because I don’t have adobe flash). What does this movie have that the others don’t? Is it in a different format? I am a technonothing. Inquiring minds want to know. Or is this like women studying theology?
Congratulations. May God continue to bless you.
Congratulations.
My prayers for, and congratulations on, your anniversary.
Will it be Mystic Monk or something a little more “celebratory” I wonder?
[Maybeeeee.... o{]:¬) One reader sent a nice donation with the expressed desire that I get a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, an excellent idea. ]
You looked a wee bit younger then….
*grins wickedly*
Happy Anniversary, Father!
Congratulations, father!
To anyone else I’d say ‘keep up the Good work’, but in your case that goes without saying. Thank you for being a priest!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Father!
Happy Anniversary Fr. Z! and many, many more to come!
Heartiest Tirolean congratulations to you, Father!
Congratulations, Father Zuhlsdorf!
Ad multos annos!!!
Ad multos annos, Fr Z! And, just in case there are any Tabletistas reading…
Please continue to pray for us, as we do for you.
We give thanks to God, Father Z, for your vocation, and for your “yes” to His call; for all of the fruit your service has borne and will yet bear in and through Him. Well done, thou good and faithful servant and shepherd! May you persevere and ever grow in holiness!
Mno hiya lita!
Happy anniversary!
You are a true gift from G-d…but don’t let it go to your head, big guy. Happy Anniversary!
Sto Lat as a priest!
ie 8O more fruitful years….
Fr. Zuhlsdorf, congratulations and thank you for your fidelity to grace.
Happy anniversary! Ad multos annos!
A Athair Z: comhghairdeas leat ar an mhór-ocáid seo agus go dtaga do thuile blianta slánda dhuit!

Blessings upon you this momentous day, Fr. Z!
Ad multos annos Pater!

Happy Anniversary Father.
Today is the 49th anniversary of my mother’s death. Please pray for the repose of her soul.

Happy anniversary and thank you for being a gift to us. May our Lord continue his protections and blessings upon you.

Happy Feast Day, Father!
And the world has become a much better place because of that happy event.
Ray
Congratulations, Father! May God continue to bless you and may your priesthood continue to bear good fruit, bringing Christ and His mercy and forgiveness to others through your anointed hands and eloquent witness.
This is a “milestone year” for my husband and me, too; we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in July.
Be assured of my prayers as I thank God for our respective vocations and for His abundant goodness!
In Christ, AnnieMW
Gratulacje!
Your work has been a terrific blessing to us and to the Church. As others have stated here, it is thanks to you that I turned the corner and began my journey down the road toward serious-minded Catholicism after years of excursions into progressive, “dead-end” ideologies.
Time and again your example has inspired me to speak up bravely and charitably in defense of the Faith.
May God grant you many more years to serve!
Happy anniversary, Father!
Happy Anniversary, Father! And thank you again for all that you have done and continue to do.
Congratulations, Father! Thank you for all you do for us and for the church!
Ad multos annos!
Happy Anniversary, Father; Congratulations! Thank you for your service to the Church. We appreciate you!
C0ngratulations are in order, but just as when we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, looking back, don’t time just fly. 20 heck 30 more Father, we need you around for a long time
God Bless
Happy Anniversary, Father!
May you enjoy a most blessed anniversary….and accept the grateful thanks offered up in praise to the Almighty for your ministry, insight, and defense of the Faith.
To Him be all praise and glory!
Father, may you’re blessings continue.
God bless you, Father Z. I will remember you in my rosary.
p.s. It seems a fitting thing to use the donation button today in honor of Father’s anniversary if any of you feel called to do so. [A great idea!]
Happy Anniversary Fr. Z.
Thank you for your service to the Church. I am personally very grateful for your constant faithfulness to the Church and her teachings as well as your willingness to take the time to guide and teach us all. I have learned much from your blog and have been strengthened in my faith as have so many others. I keep you in my prayers. May God bless you and give you many more years to tend his flock.
God bless you on this happy day, Father. I am grateful to God for the gift of your priesthood. My faith has been enriched so much by your teaching. I doubt I would have gotten back to confession recently without your encouragement..’just go!.’ May God continue to bless you and prosper the works of your hands and heart. Happy Anniversary!
God bless you, Father Z.!
Axios, axios, axios!
Happy Anniversary, Father Z!
Didn’t Fr. John Corapi get ordained there too about the same time? Maybe I’m a year or two off one way or the other. But maybe it was the same year? [Yes... we were ordained together.]
Ad multos annos!
Happy anniversary, Father!
Ad multos annos!
peace be upon you all of your days.
And the Church is a better place for it……You have touched many people’s lives with the truth..Thank you and God Bless.
Ad multos annos! Thank you for being obedient to God’s call in your life, Father.
Congratulations! I will remember you today at Mass.
Happy Anniversary, Father! May God bless you and Mary keep you…today and always!
Princeps Pastorum, Christus te gratia superna custodiat, foveat, et protegat ac lumine suo te iugiter repleat.
Thanks, everyone, for the greetings!
Happy Anniversary, What a wonderful day it must have been. I’m glad we all get to pray for at least another twenty years. God bless you.

Happy 20th anniversary, Father Z!

Great day to be ordained, especially on the feast of St Philip Neri.

I can’t express what a blessing your blog has been for me in my faith journey.
St Philip Neri – Patron of good humor as I recall. How fitting.
Happy Anniversary, Fr. Z!
Fr. Z, thank you for bringing God’s people the Holy Sacraments, and thank you for the blessing of this blog. May God richly reward you!
God bless you and send you many more years of keeping us educated and inspired (and in line!)

Your title reminded me of this:

No doubt you were thinking of it as well. :-)
I wish you many many more anniversaries.
Congratulations, Father. Thank you for answering “yes” to the call and for your service to Holy Mother Church. God bless you.

Congratulations, FrZ, and may God continue to bless you!
Happy anniversary Father! May the Lord grant you many more to come.
Congratulations Fr !!!
What will you be cooking this evening for dinner ?
[I was wondering about that myself. I had thought perhaps something from Julia Child's big books, perhaps involving chicken. I have it in the back of my mind that I would like to have some coq au vin or perhaps a stewed whole chicken with herbs.]
Many, many congratulations, Fr. Z. Ad multos annos!
And more power to your (blogging) elbow, as we say here in Old Blighty…
[Were I there, I am sure we could exercise the elbow with a pint of - if memory serves from my time in Blackfen - Bishop's Finger!]
Congratulations!
Happy Anniversary, Father!! Many blessings of the day. May God bless you with many more years. Thank you so much for this blog.
Just want you to know that you are in my daily prayers. All the best.
Ad multos annos, Father! I’ll be praying this week for the continued success of your ministry.
Congratulations and happy anniversary Fr. Z!
My wife and I celebrated out 20th wedding anniversary yesterday (May 25). We have 4 children now, ranging in age from 18 to 2 and are expecting our 5th child in June. Please pray for us and our family as we will pray for you!
A most blessed anniversary, Father Z! May you continue to guide us for many more years.
Happy anniversary, Father, and may you have many more.
Thank you for your fidelity to your vocation and to Holy Mother Church. I give thanks to God for the gift of your vocation, and I will continue to pray for you and your work.

Congratulations and happy anniversary from Edinburgh, Scotland!
Happy 20th Anniversary Fr. Z!
I can’t tell which one you are—Mother Mary pray for this servant…Happy Grace filled next 20 years.
God’s Blessing on you.

Reading your blog has helped me consider my own Priestly vocation, so for that I greatly thank you!
Congratulations Fr. Z!
Some exciting news: through reading your blog, listening to podcasts, and attending an EF Mass, I have been inspired to learn Latin. Last week I ordered language-learning software that was just dropped off at my doorstep. I’m ready to pop the first disc into my computer and get started. Thank you once again for your efforts to educate your readers – you are truly an inspiration!
Feliz aniversario Padre Z! Que Dios te bendiga hoy y siempre. Ad multos annos!
God bless you with many more years, Father. Thank you for saying yes to His call. You are a blessing to me, and by extension to my family and friends.
Domine salvum fac
Patrem nostrum Ioannes
et exaudi nos in die qua
Invocaveriumus te!
God bless you, Father, for your work to save souls.
Congratulations on 20 years!
May you remain faithful to Our Lord and Our Lady all your life!
Happy anniversary, Father Zuhlsdorf!
Ad multos annos!
We are all thankful that you said “Yes” to God. We are all thankful for your Priesthood. Thank you, Fr. Z. You remind me that the whole world is NOT insane ; )
It was twenty years ago today
Pope John Paul taught Fr. Z to pray
The old rite was going out of style
Now the faithful are lined up in the aisles
So may I now discuss with you
The Mass we’ve known for all these years
On Fr. Zuhlsdorf’s Sacred Heart’s Club Blog!
Happy anniversary!
Felicitations on your 20th, Fr Z, and thank you for enriching my life with wdtprs.
May God grant you many years!
God bless you, Father! Thank you for saying “yes” to your vocation. May the Lord keep you faithful to His teaching and never let you depart from it.
Happy Anniversary, Father! Sorry I’m late. I hope your day was wonderful and that you celebrated with a wonderful dinner and some bubbly.
You are a blessing to us in so many ways! Thank you for your service to us and to Our Lord. You are helping us to be better and more faithful Catholics, as well as providing an opportunity for us to know that there are others out there like us who want to follow Our Lord through the teachings of the Church. You are truly a shepherd for this little on-line flock. (For many of us, certainly more so than our own pastors, however well-meaning they may be.)
Happy Anniversary Father!
congratulations Father and more years to come as a humble worker in the Lord’s vineyard!
Belated congratulations!
