Summary
Jim Siler was ordained to the priesthood at Holy Cross Catholic Church on Beaver Island on September 14, 2017, according to a Holy Cross community announcement and a later Beaver Island News follow-up. The announcement called the event historic for Beaver Island and planned a school-gym livestream and community meal.
Evidence limits
The forum thread establishes the public announcement and preserves a later video link. It does not independently verify attendance, the full liturgy, or the claim that no earlier priest had been ordained on Beaver Island.
Sources
- The announcement invited the island community to the September 14 ordination at Holy Cross, described planned livestreaming to the school gym and a community dinner, and a November follow-up linked the complete video. It documents the organizer’s plan and a later video link, not an independent attendance count or diocesan record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 12 · t012214
