Reverend Robyn, me, and my dad Reverend Franco
HELPING OUR FRIEND GET ORDAINED By Vincenzo Vaccarino
31
Our friend Robyn Appleby from All Saints church in Palmerston North was ordained in Wellington. Me and my dad went to Wellington on Friday afternoon to practise the service. On Saturday the Anglican Cathedral of Saint Paul was crowded. My dad said there were 800 people there. We watched Robyn and other people walk to the altar. Bishop Justin and Bishop Eleanor lead the special service. Me and my dad sat with other people from All Saints church. Then me and my dad went to the front of the cathedral. We stood behind Robyn and me and my dad presented our friend Robyn to the bishops. The bishops ordained Robyn, and she is now a priest. After a long service, we had a lovely lunch and we took some photos. Me and my dad stayed in Wellington on Saturday night. We went home on Sunday afternoon. We had a great weekend.
