In 1999, six new priests were ordained for our diocese: Fr Miceal Beatty, Fr Chris Bergin, Fr Stephen Hardaker, Fr Peter Johnstone, Fr Terry Martin and Fr Peter Newsam. On 25th May we gathered (minus Fr Miceal) for a happy ‘Coming of Age’ 18th anniversary celebration. Canon Tony Churchill kindly joined us and shared some thoughts and challenges from his 47 years of experience. We had prayer time and Benediction, before heading out for a splendid lunch in the glorious sunshine. Please pray and pray and pray for many vocations to the priesthood for our diocese.
