Kent: Franciscan Brother ordained to the priesthood

Br Paul Coleman, Archbishop Peter, Br Martin and his parents

Franciscan Brother Martin Mikuskiewicz, OFMCap, was ordained to the priesthood by the Archbishop of Southwark, Most Rev Peter Smith, at the Church of Our Lady of the Angels in Erith, Kent on Saturday, 25 January.

Brother Martin’s family travelled from Poland and as far north as Dundee, and friends arrived from many places for the occasion, including a coach from the Institute of St Anselm in Cliftonville.

It was a moment of great joy for Brother Martin, his family and friends and parish community as well as the Capuchin Province in Great Britain. Brother Martin thanks everyone for their support on that day and asks that we all keep him in our prayers as he embarks on his priestly ministry.

The Capuchins Friars have served the community in Erith since 1867.
