23 new Deacons ordained at Manchester Cathedral

Twenty three new Deacons were ordained by the Bishop of Manchester on Sunday 3 July at a special service at Manchester Cathedral.

The new clergy will go on to serve in parishes around Greater Manchester, where they will be welcomed and supported by their communities.

The Bishop of Manchester, The Rt Revd Dr David Walker, said, “We are very blessed in the Diocese of Manchester in both the number of candidates coming forward for ordination and the qualities they bring. Each comes with their own passion, to live the love of Jesus Christ and to make that love known among those to whom God is sending them.

“Together, they represent a huge diversity of background, church tradition and previous experience, a diversity that will enrich us as we continue to grow the church, serve the people of Manchester, and nurture one another in faith.”
