Arcbishop Bernard Longley was celebrant, assisted by Bishop Richard Moth in choro. Several Fathers of the English Oratories concelebrated and there were many priests and seminarians in choir, inluding a good representation from the Archdiocese of Southwark.
It was a lovely occasion to catch up with old friends: priests, bloggers, blog readers and good apostolic laity. Fr Duncan was in the first cohort to whom I taught Sacramental Theology at Wonersh in 2004. It was great to see him ordained to the sacred priesthood to minister those sacraments. Please remember him in your prayers.

Thank you for this Fr and for representing the staff of St John's Seminary, Wonersh.
Fr Richard
Are there any pictures of the ceremony?
I daily ask Bl. John Henry Newman to pray for the Oratory, and now for this new son of St. Philip!
There will be pictures published.
I'm hoping that the ordination pictures will be available early next week.
Some pictures were also taken after my first mass this lunchtime. These will also be available over the next couple of days.
Many congratulations to Fr Duncan.
Another soldier for Christ.
Deo Gratias.
Congratulations to Fr. Richard Duncan
