The first of my classmates is now a deacon! I was down in Christ Church Cathedral Dublin for the ordination of Stephen Farrell, now serving as Curate Assistant of Taney Parish, Dublin. Also ordained were Robert Lawson and Anne-Marie O'Farrell.
As if the events of last week weren't enough to make it all very real - the buying of clerical shirts, the peek at the draft order of service - today was firm reality. Stephen is now a minister! And in just seven days, so shall I.
I'm off from Friday until Sunday on my pre-ordination retreat, so if you need to get in touch, do so in the next few days!
All are welcome to attend on Sunday night - the service is at 6.30pm in my home church, Dromore Cathedral.
