Ordination of Priests

Saturday 29 June, 3pm

Every summer, the Church of England celebrates the ordination of new deacons and priests, often at the end of June.

Ordination is the Church’s official recognition of a person’s sense of calling to be a priest or deacon and this first step into ordination will give them the authority to do certain things in the name of God and the Church.

On Saturday 29 June, 3pm to 4.30pm, 9 people will be ordained as priests for the Church of England in and around Gloucestershire.

The new priests have already been working in churches throughout the diocese as ordained deacons, learning the work of a priest and assisting their parish priest in the running of the church. The service in the Cathedral is the final step for the new priests after years of training.
