A Sapphire Anniversary for Archbishop Arthur

Mid-way between Ruby and Gold, our Bishop Emeritus celebrates the 45th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood today, Sunday 19 July.

With gratitude for his ministry in the Diocese of Leeds as Priest and Bishop, and for his service to the Church in many other ways during the past forty-five years – at the English College in Rome, at the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, in the Diocese of Westminster and now for the Holy See – we offer Archbishop Roche our warmest congratulations and best wishes.

Ad multos annos!
