On October 23, 2011 the Bishop of Frejus-Toulon, Msgr. Dominique Rey, ordained a new priest for his diocese using the 1962 Pontifical. The new priest, Fr. Jean Christophe Pelegri, was ordained by Msgr. Rey to the diaconate on May 11 of this year, only two days before the promulgation of Universae Ecclesiae.) A photo gallery is in the Picasa account of the Cathedral of Frejus-Toulon.
Msgr. Rey has been known to give the seminarians of his diocese the privilege of choosing the rite of their ordination, and it seems that Universae Ecclesiae will not put a stop to this practice, as had been earlier feared or predicted by some commentators. Earlier this year, Msgr. Rey ordained 15 new priests for the Diocese of Frejus-Toulon according to the liturgical books of Paul VI.
