Ordination to the Permanent Diaconate
Saturday, 19th July, saw a most historic occasion at St. Mary’s, when John Gormley from St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s Parishes, and Arcadiusz Lenkiewicz, from St. Philip the Apostle Parish, Mountview, Blanchardstown, were ordained as Permanent Deacons.
Archbishop Dermot Farrell was the principal celebrant, assisted by local and visiting clergy.
In a packed church, none of us knew what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised by the ceremony, and the old rituals – a day that will be remembered for a long time to come.
The Choral, and various singers were magnificent. The Flower Fairies excelled themselves with the beautiful floral displays, and afterwards, the hardworking catering team, looked after everybody, also providing a cake for the occasion. It was a nice chance to mingle.
We wish John and Arcadiusz every blessing in their new ministry
