Photos: Ordinations of Fr Bede and Br John
On Saturday, Fr Bede Mullens OP and Br John Church OP were ordained to the priesthood and the diaconate, respectively. The celebrant was Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham, accompanied by a host of Dominican and other priests.
We are grateful to Hannah Chegwyn for recording the day in photographs, a selection of which appears below.
The friars would also like to express their gratitude for the many ordination gifts received whether online or in person. Anyone wishing to send a donation (with an optional message) may do so here: https://www.blackfriars.org.uk/supporting-blackfriars/my-ordination-gift-for-the-friars/

It was such a beautiful service and a real privilege to receive first Blessing from Fr Bede after his ordination. May the Lord bless both Br John and Fr Bede in their ministry and make it fruitful. Thank you both for dedicating your lives to service.
