New Priests Older, one is Game developer

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A former NASA engineer, a PlayStation video game developer and widowed deacons are among the 440 men in the ordination class of 2010.

The average age of the men who will be ordained in June is 37, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. More than half are between the ages of 25 and 34, and 11 of them are age 65 or older.

The center conducted a national survey of ordinands for the Secretariat of Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
