This evening (Friday 3 July) our Archdiocese will celebrate the Ordination to the Priesthood of Matthew McCafferty.

It takes place at St Mary’s Church in Bathgate at 7:00pm and everyone is welcome to attend.

You can watch the Mass live via Sanctus Media using this link: bit.ly/mccaffertyordination

The Mass will also be streamed live on the Facebook page of the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh.

Ordinations are a powerful witness to God’s call and an opportunity to encourage and pray for vocations to the priesthood.
