Worcester Cathedral is to be the scene of a record number of people being ordained in a year. This Sunday at 10:30am on the 2nd July the annual Ordination service will see a record 19 people being ordained into Ministry. Clergy and Parishioners from all over the diocese will gather for the service.
Ten priests and nine deacons are to be ordained to serve in parishes across Worcestershire and the West Midlands. The Right Reverend Dr Peter Selby, the Bishop of Worcester said: “We all give thanks that God is calling so many people forward to be deacons and priests. I am looking forward to the ordination service and to celebrating the gifts we are receiving through those being ordained.”
Those being ordained will prepare for the event during a retreat at Holland House lead by the Reverend Chris Pullin, vicar of St John-in-Bedwardine, Worcester. Reverend Pullin will also preach the sermon at the Ordination service.
