Congratulations to Luke Theobald, one of our seminarians, and to the other men who have received the ministry of acolyte in Rome.

It is also wonderful to see Deacon Brian, Luke’s father (from our parish of St. Michael’s, Sonning Common) assisting at the Mass of Institution. What a joyful occasion for the family.
