Our ordination services are a time to celebrate and welcome new deacons (those to be given the title Reverend) and priests (deacons who have been training under an incumbent for a year) into the diocese. We're looking forward to celebrating the deaconing of our inaugural Caleb cohort at Guildford Cathedral at Michaelmas on Sunday 28 September, having already celebrated one lot of ordinations at Petertide (late June).
Tickets for the service have been allocated to the ordinands for distribution. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, the ordination service won't be streamed. You can, however, download the order of service by clicking on the service on the Guildford Cathedral calendar a couple of days before the service. Do keep an eye out for a celebration of the ordinations on our News page and social channels following the service.
