Archbishop George Stack visits the seminary at St. Mary’s College Oscott to preside at the Mass of Admission to Candidacy for Holy Orders.  Those being admitted as Candidates include our own Nicholas Williams.

Candidacy is the formal step in the formation towards Holy Orders where the Church formally recognises that the candidates have a call from God to Holy Orders.  The transition in formation then moves from one of discernment to preparation for Ordination the following year.
