Bruno Witchalls
Extract from Newsletter April 2006
I am delighted to be able to tell you that Bishop Kieran has called Bruno to the Diaconate and Priesthood.
This is great news indeed for all of us and especially of course for Bruno whom we heartily congratulate. He will be ordained as deacon here at St Joseph's at the 6.00pm Mass on Sunday 14 May by Bishop Kieran.
After serving a suitable period of time as a deacon with us he will then, please God, be ordained to the priesthood and the intention is that he should continue to serve with us here in the parish, not only as a deacon but also as a priest. We are not sure yet when Bruno will be ordained as a priest, but hopefully it will be before Christmas.
I know that Bruno would very much appreciate it if you could all keep him in your prayers. I am sure that his ordination to the diaconate will bring many blessings to our Parish. May it be a source of inspiration for other men of good character to answer the call.
Fr Bill
