Links and orders of service for 2021 ordinations

We’re getting ready to celebrate as 15 new priests and six new deacons prepare to be ordained in Gloucester Cathedral this weekend. Please can you hold all of these candidates in your prayers as they approach this special time in their life.

This newest generation of clergy will join others in leading churches through prayer, teaching, and worship. In doing so, they will further the mission of the Church, to be a Church for all people and for all places.

The new priests have already been working in churches throughout the Diocese as ordained deacons, learning the work of a priest and assisting their parish priest in the running of the church. The service in the Cathedral is the final step for the new priests after years of training.

Join us live online

Both services will be livestreamed via our Facebook page, Twitter account, and Youtube channel.
