Bishop Christopher commends all those to be ordained Priest to your prayers: “Our Priest candidates are already serving in parishes across the Diocese, exercising ministry as Deacons and now, God willing, shortly to be ordained to the Priesthood. They are gaining valuable experience in the context of their curacies, including chaplaincy work and pioneer ministry. I am thankful for their commitment to their calling and grateful to those who are supporting them. I commend them all to your prayers. May they be filled with grace, compassion, and dedication in all that lies ahead, the Lord being their helper.”
