A Collegeville native is among six men who will be ordained by Cardinal Justin Rigali into the Catholic priesthood this Saturday at Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.

The Rev. Jeffrey M. Rott, 30, son of Mark and Rachele Rott, was serving as deacon at Saint Anastasia Parish in Newtown Square, Delaware County, but will celebrate his first Mass as an ordained priest in his home town at Saint Eleanor Church, 647 Locust St., Collegeville, Sunday at 3 p.m. Rott is an alumnus of Perkiomen Valley High School.

All six of the men to be ordained attended St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. Also among them is the Rev. Richard Smith, 26, sone of James and Susan Smith, of Philadelphia, who was most recently serving as deacon at Mother of Divine Providence in King of Prussia.

The new priests will be assigned to a parish at the end of the month where they will serve as parochial vicars, or priests appointed to assist the parish pastor.
