Celebrating New Ministry

When a priest takes on a new role there is a welcoming service, often called a licensing, but sometime an institution or collation.  Due to covid these have often been via zoom or have been streamed.  Here are the recordings of these services.  

There are also links to our ordination services for priests and deacons and licensing of our lay ministers.
