THE DIOCESE OF ARUNDEL & BRIGHTON
On Saturday afternoon this weekend Bishop Richard ordained two new priests for service in the diocese, Scott Coleman and Gary Carter. They will begin their priestly ministry in September having received their appointments from the bishop. We pray that they will be happy in their respective ministries and that God will inspire other men to think about offering themselves for service in the Church.
