Please pray for our brothers Thomas Skeats and Robert Gay who have been ordained priests and Lawrence Lew who has been ordained a deacon. The ordinations took place on Saturday 24th July and were done by Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham. In the photograph above, l. to r., Lawrence Lew OP, Thomas Skeats OP, Archbishop Longley, Manolo Puppini OP, the Archbishop's Master of Ceremonies, and Robert Gay OP.

Fr Robert is assigned to Edinburgh where he will work in the University Chaplaincy, Fr Thomas is assigned to London where he will work on the parish, and Br Lawrence remains in Oxford to complete his studies.

  1. Very nice otherwise, but I have to say that this is a pretty weak altar and candle arrangement.

  4. Congratulations, and blessings on all the ordinands. I'll miss seeing Fr Robert when I return to Oxford in the fall, but am sure he'll do well serving the university community at Edinburgh.
