Six new priests have been ordained today (25 June) by the Bishop of St Asaph, the Rt Revd Gregory Cameron.

In front of family and friends both in the Cathedral and via a live-stream, the six candidates affirmed their commitment to priestly ministry and way of life.

The six new priests are:

• Stephen Murray Hayes Mission Area Leader, Tanat-Vyrnwy Mission Area
• Adrian Robert Johnson Assistant Curate, Mold Mission Area
• Christopher Michael Lawton Assistant Curate, Aber-Morfa Mission Area
• Natasha Nicole Quinn-Thomas Assistant Curate, Dyffryn Clwyd Mission Area
• Joseph Patrick Williams Assistant Curate, Wrexham Mission Area
• Michael Norman Winwood Assistant Curate, Maelor Mission Area

The sermon was given by the ordination retreat leader, the Ven Peter Pike, former Archdeacon of Montgomery. A recorded stream of the service is available via youtube. In the film opposite, some of those ordained reflect on their journey, the service and their immediate hopes for their ministry.
