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.”
