Please pray for all those to be ordained this year and especially for these candidates who will serve in our diocese. Pray for them in these final weeks of preparation and for a rich outpouring of Gods grace for them and for the whole Church.
Please pray also for their families, friends, for all those who have supported and encouraged them on their journey and for those with whom they will serve.
Ordination services originally planned for the summer had to be postponed because of the coronavirus lockdown. The new ordination services will be spread across three venues: Manchester Cathedral, Bolton Parish Church and Oldham Parish Church. There will be more than one service at each venue on each of the two ordination dates, but for simplicity weve grouped the ordinands by date and venue rather than by each individual ordination. There will only be a small number of people at each service (currently 30 maximum) in order to adhere fully to social distancing measures.
