Ordination of priests 2023

We celebrated the ordination of six new priests this summer. Bishop Jonathan Frost ordained Emma Andersen, Fran Carabott, Jill Kingston, Liz Quinn and Amanda Sim as priests in our cathedral, having ordained Beth Yeandle earlier in the day. They'll continue serving as assistant curates in parishes across our diocese.
The service included promises being made by the candidates, the anointing of their heads and hands with oil, and a Eucharist setting from the Little Jazz Mass by Bob Chilcott. Family and friends packed the cathedral and applauded and cheered the newly-ordained priests.
