Brett Gladden from Bury St Edmunds, Martin L'Estrange from King's Lynn and James Hurst from Newmarket (pictured right - front row) reached a final staging post on their tour-year formation journey following 'candidacy' in their second year and 'lectorship' in their third year.

An appeal for funds.
"In many instances our chapels are small , and inconvenient, encumbered with debt, and ill-provided with suitable requisites for divine worship. It grieves us also to state, as it will surely grieve all those who respect the ministers of Religion, to learn that in many cases our beloved Clergy are left to subsist on a
pittance smaller than what is offered to a repectable domestic; and that while their station requires of them a decent appearance, and the distress of the poor exhaust their means of relief, they are themselves, oftentimes, objects of charity." He wishes to establish an Eastern District Fund. He clarifies a misunderstanding that the Holy See, whilst having created more Vicariates, is not funding them and expects the Faithful to provide for them.
