Two men will make their final and perpetual profession of vows in becoming priests in the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales religious order on Friday.

Michael Newman, who enters the order from Christ the King Parish in Toledo, and Shaun Lowery, of Detroit, will vow to live by the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in the ceremony scheduled for 7 p.m. in Gesu Church, 2049 Parkside Blvd.
