ITIHE first secular priest to be 1ordained in England for an Indian diocese will be raised to the priesthood on Saturday (tomorrow) at Stoke Newington, London.
Bishop D'Mello of Ajmer, India, will go to the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel at 10 a.m. to ordain the Rev. Roger Lesser, who is just 27 years old.
This will also be the first time that an Indian Bishop has ordained an English student in England for his own diocese in India.
Fr. Lesser came to England in 1949 and studied for six years at St. Edmund's College, Old Hall, Ware. He will be returning to the Ajmer diocese in August or September to work under Bishop D'Mello.
On Sunday he will say his first Mass at St. Mary Magdalen's Church, Brighton. Bishop D'Mello will preside.
