Matthew and Kieran ordained deacons
Congratulations to Matthew McCafferty and Kieran Burt who were ordained deacons in Rome by Archbishop Cushley on Saturday 10 May.
The ceremony took place at St Paul Outside the Walls and represents their final step on the path to priesthood. Matthew, from Bathgate, is a seminarian of the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh, while Kieran is from Motherwell Diocese.
Archbishop Cushley told them: “To be a deacon is to serve; to be Christlike is to serve; and you are called to embrace both, in a life of perfect service: a joyful, constant, self-emptying gift to the Lord and His people.”
