IN these times of fewer and fewer priests, it is indeed a time for rejoicing when there is an ordination.
Last weekend Queensland witnessed the ordination of three priests – Fr Rod Ward to the diocesan priesthood in Townsville and two Divine World Missionary priests in Brisbane.
While they will each serve God in different parts of the world, they will all be united in their dedication to bring God’s Kingdom to His people.
It takes great sacrifice to be a priest in the 21st century.
The three men who have been ordained offer great hope for the Church.
May we be blessed by many more of these fine servants of God in the years ahead.
