The Episcopal Ordination of Bishop Ronnie - Year 3

Fr Jim Williams was delighted that the Year 3 class were so interested in the recent ordination of Bishop Bosco as Tenth Bishop of the Clifton Diocese that he offered to organise a ‘teaching’ ordination so he could explain the various parts of the Episcopal Ordination to them.Fr Jim, along with some volunteers from St Lawrence and St Paul parish, created some wonderful resources to bring the ordination of Bishop Ronnie to life.
