Who is preaching at the First Mass?

A tradition for most newly ordained priests is to invite someone else to preach at their 'first' mass. Mostly it helps the new priest to focus on the job at hand and let someone else inspire the congregation with carefully chosen words.

I have asked my long time school friend from Stonyhurst and now diocesan priest, Rev. Fr. Philip Conner to do the honours. He is a priest from the Lancaster Diocese and currently leads all ministry with young people in the diocese.

He is not the Bishop but is the person on the left, still with the deacon's stole on the way to the altar for his ordination.
