Two former Anglican bishops are due to be ordained as Catholic priests within the next few weeks.

Jonathan Goodall, the former Bishop of Ebbsfleet, will be consecrated in Westminster Cathedral on Saturday March 12 and John Goddard, the former Bishop of Burnley, will be ordained a Catholic priest in the Lutyens Chapel of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, on Saturday April 2.

Both men were formerly Anglo-Catholics and they were two of four Anglican bishops who were received in the Catholic Church last year.
