The Ordination service will be streamed live on the Cathedral YouTube Channel and will be available for viewing afterwards as a recording.
Please uphold the ordinands in prayer:
Those to be ordained deacon
Lord Jesus Christ, though you are rich, for our sake you became poor. Taking the form of a servant, you humbled yourself, and gave your life a ransom for many. Send your blessing on those called to be deacons, that they may have grace and power to serve as your ambassadors, to stand beside the poor and raise up the needy, and so proclaim your gospel of salvation in word and deed. May they be patient and loving, strong and steadfast, running to the end the race set before them, to receive your promised crown of glory. Amen.
Those to be ordained priest
Great Shepherd of your people, bless those called to priesthood in your Church. Fire their hearts with passion for your word and care for your people, that they may joyfully proclaim your gospel, and faithfully minister your sacraments. Guide them in their prayer and study, that they may be discerning and loving pastors, enabling all to minister to the glory of your name and the benefit of your people and world. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
