We have 24 candidates being ordained Deacon or Priest this year across the weekend of July 3 and 4, 2021.
The official ordination video available now on YouTube features six of the 24 ordinands plus our three bishops and the Director of Vocations. Watch the video below ...
Ordinations are taking place across the country and The Church of England will be tweeting throughout this current period on its national Twitter account @churchofengland while our local diocesan Twitter feed (@cofelancs) will also be active, both using #newrevs
- More on the ordination weekend can be found by clicking here.
- There will also be coverage of the ordinations and our ordinands in the local and regional media including on BBC Radio Lancashire on Sunday morning from 6am - 10am or listen later on BBC Sounds here.
- The Cathedral is making livestreams of the services available on their YouTube channel for family and friends and people from parishes who can't attend due to pandemic restrictions.
- Look out for further post-ordination weekend coverage (including pictures taken after each service) on this website on Monday, July 5.
Find out more about each Deacon and Priest in their own words, by clicking the links to the 'Q and As' below ...

Rev Simon H Griffiths -- As part of Vision 2026 we are committed to growing vocations and increasing the number of ordinands and curates in training. The Bishop’s Ordination Fund helps to fund the grants made to assist with living and removal costs of those in training. Visit www.blackburn.anglican.org/donate where you can donate to all our present funds, including the Bishop's Ordination Fund.
