Reflections on my Priestly Ordination...

Fr Peter Morris CSsR writes...and lots of photos to see!

ord fr peter morris 148On Monday 26th Oct, I was ordained a priest. It was a wonderful occasion - one I've been very much looking forward to for some time. The excitement of so many people around me you could almost touch, it was so powerful & infectious!

 

 People kept asking me if I was nervous but I would respond honestly that I wasn't - I was just so happy. It was an extension of the experience I had on retreat, which simply confirmed that it was the right way ahead.

Our New Priest - Fr Peter Morris CSsR...

The Redemptorists, along with family and friends celebrated with great joy the ordination of Fr Peter Morris CSsR.

 

The ceremony took place in Aberdeen Cathedral but the ordaining Bishop was the Bishop of Hallam, Bishop Ralph Heskett CSsR. A wonderful celebration! 

 

We will let the pictures speak for themselves and at the end you will find a text that has been prepared for the Press!

Vocations evening in Motherwell Cathedral...

An evening was celebrated in Motherwell Cathedral with the emphasis on VOCATIONS.

Our Youth Coordinator was there and he flew the Vocations flag for us! This is what he had to say,

"Wonderful night at Vocations Mass in Motherwell Cathedral! Privilege to be representing the Redemptorists tonight in my home parish and home diocese with all the religious of our Diocese and those originally from Motherwell but working for church across UK! Church packed with around 1000 in attendance with lots of young people too. Special time earlier in evening sharing meal and Evening Prayer at Carfin Grotto with Bishop Toal and religious. God is good!"

I have just recently returned from some pastoral efforts in Spain.  The vast majority of the time was spent in the community based in Astorga, as part of the initiative of Redemptorist outreach to pilgrims travelling the Camino to Santiago de Compostella.

CSsR Novices to Toronto go...

Please pray for two of our novices who head across the Atlantic to join other novices from North America as they make the noviciate together. The noviciate lasts for one year and one day! 

Our novices are Br Mike Taylor and Br Royston Price; these two men have previously done their postulancy (Liverpool) and two years of Philosophy at Allen Hall Seminary (London) and so begin their fourth year as Novices in Cananda.

Our prayers go with you brothers!
