The Ordination of Darren Jones took place at Cathedral Church of St Anne, Leeds on Saturday 25th July 2020 he was ordained to the Priesthood by The Right Reverend Marcus Nigel Stock, MA, STL, Tenth Bishop of Leeds.
Fr Darren was ordained Deacon at Oscott College last December and when the lockdown began in March he came to reside at Cathedral House while completing his seminary studies online. During this period he became a familiar figure to viewers of the daily live-streamed Masses from the Cathedral.
Bishop Marcus announced that in mid-August Fr Darren will take up an appointment as Assistant Priest in the Parish of St Austin & English Martyrs, Wakefield. He will also be Priest Chaplain to St Thomas Becket Catholic Academy and Chaplain to Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield.
We offer Fr Darren our warmest congratulations on his Ordination and our prayers and best wishes for his priestly ministry in the years ahead.
