I met the new Deacon at Welsh Martyrs on Sunday, he is a huge guy, totally dwarfing Fr Paul, but like most big men he seemed very cheerful and friendly. He is with us until Easter and he will be ordained in the summer, sadly I don't suppose he will be returning here after that; priests, especially young ones, are increasingly scarce in Menevia Diocese, and I doubt we'll have two here again.
I once heard a talk given by a priest, who, musing on the lack of vocations to the priesthood, said "maybe God has had enough of us and has decided to do something else", hmmm.
