Due to social distancing rules, there will be limited seating at all ordinations.
Admission to the deacon ordinations in Lichfield Cathedral will be by ticket - a limited number will be issued to each ordinand.
Admission to priest ordinations will be by local arrangement.
We hope to livestream (or record and upload later) all the ordination services this year - primarily through our Faceboook Group and echoed on this page.
The full list of ordinands is:
Deacon Ordinations
(Deacons = new clergy beginning their ordained ministry as curates)
The Order of Service, live stream of each and photos from the services will link from here when available.
