Good news at Rome Conference of English and Welsh Diocesan Vocations Directors

18 priests from 16 dioceses attended the conference. I think there are 20 dioceses in total in England and Wales. Anyway the full article is here and reports an increase in vocations to the priesthood in 20 countries, including England and Wales, where 40 men began training for the priesthood this autumn.. Also at the Conference the Vocations Directors' committee elected a new chairman, Fr Stephen Langridge. Believe you me, that is very, very good news indeed!!
