The sun shone as Bishop Hugh ordained our Dom Joseph Carron to the Sacred Priesthood on Monday 12 June. No member of Fr. Joseph's family was able to come, but plenty of friends and admirers were there. A most pleasant buffet meal was served in the cloister garden after the Mass, much appreciated by all present.

Fr. Joseph returned to be by his mother's side two days after the Ordination. So for now he is offering his daily Mass not in the Abbey but in Birmingham; though always of course in union of prayer with our community, and united in a special way with our community Mass.
