Fr David's Induction Mass


At our 10am Mass on Thursday morning, Fr Colin (our Dean) very kindly popped back to induct me as Parish Priest here at St Wilfrid's. This involved my public Profession of Faith and the taking of various Oaths. This is a canonical procedure just to make sure all is above board and proper as I begin my ministry here in the parish... we even had a few chocolates & a glass of wine to ensure an even sweeter taste to the canons!

Called Evangelii Gaudium, ‘The Joy of the Gospel’, the Exhortation invites us all to become missionaries, playing our part in bringing Jesus to the world in which we live.
