“There is only one priest ordained into the Diocese of Rochester annually, and that it is a great joy for the entire community, said Bishop Mathew Clark, who presided over the ordination.”

“The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate projects the number of diocesan priests will decline to 96 by 2015 and only 62 by 2025 if current trends continue.” From this morning’s D&C.

Hopefully the bishop misspoke. Only one ordination a year is a cause for great concern rather than great joy.
