Year for Priests 19th June 2009 – 19th June 2010
The priesthood is the love of the Heart of Jesus.
When you see the priest, think of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Thoughts of the CURÉ D’ARS)
ON THE OCCASION OF
THE ORDINATION
OF
DEACON PAUL SMITH TO THE PRIESTHOOD
5th JULY 2008
(SEE below for Photo Gallery)
“The ceremony of the ordination of a priest is a rich tapestry. It is an interweaving of words, gestures, symbols and images. Each has its own particular significance; each highlights an aspect of the gift of Holy Orders and of the life and ministry of the priest. Together they give eloquent testimony to the underlying fact and truth of this moment: here God is at work.”
Archbishop Vincent Nichols
