We are looking forward to the ordination of Deacons and Priests taking place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July at Manchester Cathedral. This Petertide, a total of 35 people are being ordained in the diocese - 14 as deacons and 21 as priests.
Please hold them in your prayers as they prepare for this important milestone. Pray for them in these final weeks of preparation and for a rich outpouring of God's grace for them and for the whole Church.
Please pray also for their families, and friends, for all those who have supported and encouraged them on their journey and for those with whom they will serve.
