Get to know our new Priests and Deacons; new video released alongside written profiles

A total of 27 new Priests and Deacons - one of the largest cohorts for several years - 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 short biography and a 'question and answer' form, to help you get to know them a bit better.

For the latest news stories on the ordination weekend and more about social media over the coming days as well; keep an eye on this website's news section.

We also have a great new video, featuring five of this year’s cohort alongside Rt Rev. Philip North, Bishop of Blackburn and Rt Rev. Dr Jill Duff, Anglican Bishop of Lancaster, which is available now on our YouTube channel, and watch below.

The weekend services are as follows:

Saturday, June 29:
- Ordination of Deacons at 10.30am
- Ordination of Priests at 2pm.
Sunday, June 30: Ordination of Priests at 4pm

Livestreams for each of the Cathedral services will also be available on their YouTube channel.
