It was a stifling hot afternoon to be packing out Whanganui's oldest public building - St Peter's in Gonville - for the ordination to the priesthood of Rev Robyn Moses and Revs Luca and Sam Tovey Duckworth on Saturday. 

On Sunday we celebrated the ordination to the Priesthood of Rev Jessie Thornton Black, Rev Heidi Nayak and Rev Lynda Whitwell in their local context.

The rain came down but that didn’t dampen the warm atmosphere as Bishop Justin ordained seven Transitional Deacons to a full house in the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.

We celebrated at the Wellington Cathedral on Sunday as Murray Edridge became the first of our Priests to be ordained this year.
