THE ordination of a new priest is a time for rejoicing, not just for whoever chooses to take up this vocation, but for the whole community that supports him.
Priesthood is not a popular vocation in today’s society and is faced with many more pressures than in the past.
So the man who decides to walk down this track needs to know he has the backing of his parish or congregation.
Paul Chandler has now taken the final step to priesthood in Brisbane archdiocese.
May he be blessed with the support of those he serves, just as he so eloquently felt the presence of the Holy Spirit at his ordination.
