ordinations

Jun 27, 2015

Today is a day of great celebration for our Catholic Diocese of Christchurch as three young men are ordained deacons at 11.am in St. Mary’s pro-Cathedral. Everyone is welcome to attend, you don’t need an invitation, but here is the information below.

If you are able to be there I know that your presence and your prayer will be appreciated. If you are not able to be there, say a prayer anyway for Tien, Do and Thanh. We pray that their ministry in our diocese will lead many people to personal relationship with Jesus, and that their lives as deacons, and after December as priests, will be long, happy and fruitful.
