Last week we hosted 33 jubilarians for vespers and supper - priests (including a cardinal and three bishops) celebrating 40, 50 and 60 years of priesthood. When added together all those ruby, golden and diamond years add up to 1600! Truly to be honoured. Our seminarians, being formed also for the long haul, were encouraged by their witness of faith and joy. It’s said that each priest will affect the lives of 10,000 souls in his whole ministry.
