Australian Ordinations: Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter


Last Saturday, 22nd November, the Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, the Most Rev'd Mark Colleridge celebrated Pontifical Solemn Mass in his Cathedral and ordained to the Sacred Priesthood two deacons of the Fraternity of Saint Peter, the Rev'd Messrs Marco Rehak and Dominic Popplewell. Both deacons had been residents of Canberra, Australia's capital.

This wonderful occasion, attended by several hundred of the faithful was enhanced by splendid singing of the chant and polyphony of Durufle, as well as by the Archbishop's excellent command of the ceremonial and sacred chant.

We are pleased to include some photographic highlights here, captured by the indefatigable photographer of Australian Catholic Tradition, Tom Kwok of Sydney. Further photos can be seen here.
