End of image series (THE FIRST MASS 5 JULY 2009).
Fr David was ordained to the Priesthood in Norwich Cathedral by the Lord Bishop of Norwich on Saturday 4th June 2009. The following day he celebrated his First Mass at S. John's Timberhill. The church was packed with the regular congregation and with Fr David's relatives and friends from as far afield as New Zealand, Australia, and Swindon. The pictures in this gallery show Fr David singing the High Mass, receiving his present from the Parish, a very beautiful cloth of gold, French late 19th century, stole, giving his first blessings at the end of Mass, and then enjoying a lunch, with penty of 'bubbly' and an Ordination cake, in the churchyard.
