I was accepted by the Archbishop of Westminster, Archbishop (later Cardinal) Griffin, as a priest of his diocese and went to St Edmund's, Ware, in Hertfordshire, for a course of seminary training. I was ordained to the priesthood 22nd July 1951 and was appointed as curate to the parish of Holy Trinity, Brook Green. I remained there for three years and then returned to Downside. I entered the Noviciate in September 1954 and made my Solemn Profession in the Autumn of 1958. After teaching in the school (English Language and Literature) I was sent as chaplain to some Benedictine nuns near Stafford where I remained for 15 years.
