Ordination to the Priesthood of the Revd Graham Jones

The Revd Graham Jones was ordained to the priesthood on Sunday November 11 in St Catherine’s Church, Thomas Street. Graham’s ordination took place just seven weeks after he was ordained a Deacon and a group of his family, friends and clergy gathered, as the preacher, Canon Dr Maurice Elliott put it, to celebrate the impact that his life and ministry have had so far and will continue to have on other people.

Due to illness, Graham’s ordination was brought forward and the emotional service was celebrated by Archbishop Michael Jackson. Graham’s wife Louise, their daughters Rebecca, Amelia and Romy, his father David and his brothers Rob and Stephen and sisters Susan and Bev, were all present along with wider family and friends.
