14 priests and deacons are ordained in Norwich

The new priests, who have just completed their first year as curates, were ordained on Saturday by the Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Revd Graham Usher, in a service which was both solemn and joyful. And at a packed and celebratory service on Sunday Bishop Graham ordained eight deacons who will now serve as assistant curates across the diocese
The ordinations were also attended by the bishops of Thetford and Lynn, all three archdeacons of the diocese, canons of the Cathedral, clergy including the diocesan director of mission and ministry and the diocesan director of ordinands, and many friends and family of the new priests and deacons.
