On Saturday 4th July 2015, Shaun
Morrison was Ordained
to the Permanent Diaconate by the Right Revd Alan Hopes,
Bishop of East Anglia.
Mgr Keith Newton preached at the Ordination Mass
which
included these words to Shaun "The ordained person is a
servant of
both Christ and his Church and the Deacon
particularly symbolises in his life
and ministry that calling
of the whole church to service. In that service he is
to follow
the pattern of Christ the Good shepherd spending himself
in the care
of those committed to his charge"
Shaun was joined by many clergy
and friends for what was
a wonderful celebration. Hymns included 'Christ
is made the
sure foundation' and 'Stand up for Jesus'. This was the first
ever Ordination to take place in the Parish of Kings Lynn,
at the Church of Our
Lady of the Annunciation, where there
is the Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of
Walsingham restored
by Pope Leo XIII in 1897
Shaun is part of the Personal
Ordinariate of Our Lady of
Walsingham and will serve for both the Ordinariate
and the
East Anglia Diocese.
