Vocations
God calls all of his people into his service, all are called to serve God and work for the building up of his kingdom on earth that the world may beleive. From among his faithful people God calls men to serve him in the ministerial priesthood, to be shepherds of his flock and to represent him on earth.
Saint Michael's takes seriously the mandate to discern vocations to the Sacred Priesthood and Distinctive Diaconate and prayers regularly for an increase in vocations both to the priesthood, diaconate and to the religious (monastic) life.
Over the past fifteen years Saint Michael's has produced and nurtured ten candidates for the Sacred Priesthood, at Petertide 2009 the following ordinands from S. Michael's were ordained:

Fr David Beresford, serving at Coldwaltham, Houghton, Hardham and Bury.
