Deacon Les Arch
Ordained 2007
"My name is Les Arch and I was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate by Bishop Brian Noble on 7th July 2007 in Shrewsbury Cathedral. I am married to Mary and we have three grown up children, David, Philip and Helen. I have been involved in St. Joseph's parish life for some twenty years, and it was Fr. Terry Boylan who suggested to me that I might consider becoming a deacon. The training involved studying the Catholic Certificate for Religious Studies (CCRS) whilst training for the diaconate for three years. I hope to serve the people of St Peter's and Holy Name parishes for many years to come.”
