Ordination to the Sacred Diaconate of Brother Martin Bennett
Saturday, 19 September 2015
Today we celebrated the Ordination to the Sacred Diaconate of our brother Martin Bennett Ofm Cap by our brother franciscan and bishop Fiachra O’Ceallaigh. We wish him every blessing in his future ministry of service of the people of God and at the Altar 🙂 Please keep Br. Martin in your prayers.
Here are some images of the wonderful day…
