Ordination

After three years of study in Rome and a journey that started five years ago with the diocese. On the 18th of June 2025 I was ordained a Deacon in St Paul's Outside the Walls Basilica by Emeritus Arch Bishop Malcom of Liverpool . Along with eight other deacons ordained all from my class at the Beda College and around fifty concelebrating priests and my own bishop from Port Pirie Bishop Karol.
