Ancient Richborough
Our congratulations to Edwin Barnes, who last Friday was ordained Deacon Edwin by Bishop Crispian in the Bishop's private chapel at Portsmouth. The handful of people present at the ceremony included our own Deacon Stephen Morgan and, on the left of the photo, the Chancellor of Portsmouth Diocese.
Two days later for the first time Deacon Edwin took his proper part in our Parish Sunday morning Mass. This photo shows him carrying the Gospels in procession during the antiphonal hymn. He has the support of our prayers and takes our best wishes with him as he continues his preparation for ordination to the priesthood on March 5th.
