.Forward into the New Normal
Having all been tested and passed as negative for the Corona Virus, we have begun in these days to adapt ourselves to the new order of things in college. We have separate sittings for our meals as we are too many to fit in the refectory with all physical distancing required, we are growing used to wearing of face coverings and use of sanitising gel and the continued and careful maintenance of good hygiene throughout the college - all the things to which we have become accustomed in our work places, parishes and churches over these past long months of the pandemic.
This weekend we have a period of recollection during which I will most certainly be remembering with gratitude all those families and parishes who have hosted, cared for and formed our students over these past weeks. Thank you for your generosity and for the part you play in the work of the college in the ways in which you care for, support and mentor our future deacons and priests.
On Monday 12th October, we begin to engage a further dimension of the college programme – the academic and taught courses. The degree courses taught here are validated by Saint Mary’s University, Twickenham, England and we thank them for the many ways in which they support and guide us in our work.
As we celebrate this period of thanksgiving for the harvest, fruit of the earth and the work of human hands, may we continue to learn how to use well and wisely the good things entrusted to us.

Alex Chow (Melbourne) and Matthew Bond (Wrexham) were ordained deacon. All were ordained by their respective bishops in their home cathedrals, with very few people allowed to be present due to the restrictions of the Covid pandemic.Read More -
