A total of 24 new Priests and Deacons are all set to celebrate embarking on a new phase of their lives as the weekend of ordination services for our County approaches.
Below are pictures of each ordinand alongside a personal profile questionnaire to help you get to know them a bit better.
We also have a great new video, featuring five of this year’s cohort, which is available now on our YouTube channel and also features Rt Rev Philip North, Bishop of Blackburn and Rt Rev Dr Jill Duff, Anglican Bishop of Lancaster. Watch the video below.
The following will be ordained Priest and Deacon at Blackburn Cathedral with Bishop Philip on Saturday 1 July and on Sunday 2 July at Broughton St John with Bishop Jill at 10.30am, Thornton Christ Church with Bishop Tony Porter at 2pm and Chorley St George with Bishop Philip at 5.30pm.
