Bishop Christopher commends our Priest candidates to your prayers: “Ordination to the priesthood is a moment of great significance. Our Priests have already been on a long journey of learning and discernment exercising ministry in parishes across the Diocese. They have ministered as Deacons, learning that service is at the heart of all ministry and is the pattern to which are we are all called. They will carry this commitment into their ministry as Priests, the Lord being their helper. I am grateful for their faithfulness and commend them all to your prayers.”

Note: Some of these Priests will serve in stipendiary ministry, which means they receive the equivalent of a salary, and some will be unpaid for their work as Priests.
