Most ordinations take place in the summer months but a few are at other times of the year. Today Paul Smith is ordained in St Barnabas Cathedral, Nottingham. This is the first ordination this year and we send our congratulations and best wishes to Paul. Next week, on 2nd February, Ignatius Tully o.s.b. will be ordained in the New Camaldoli Monastery, Big Sur, California, and on 19th February, John Lovell will be ordained for Maitland and Newcastle Diocese in Australia. Congratulations, best wishes and prayers for all these past students. Ad Multos Annos.
