Born in 1961, Fr. Seán Finnegan studied at the University of St. Andrews and St. John's Seminary, Wonersh, England. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton on September 24, 1989 where he has spent the majority of his priesthood, apart from a few years in the Oratories of Oxford and London. He is presently the Parish Priest of the Parish of Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Adur Valley, which is on the South Coast of England, not far from Brighton. Fr. Finnegan is the author of the exceptional blog Valle Adurni (the ancient Roman name for Shoreham, the main town of Fr. Finnegan's parish, is supposed to have been Portus Adurni). He also teaches Early Church History at St. John's Seminary.

Welcome, Father, to our happy little band!
Welcome, Father. Your reputation, as the priest who offered Mass according to the Use of Sarum in Merton College Chapel in Oxford, precedes you. I also thank you for the link on your blog to a page of my website on the Use of Sarum.
Again, welcome aboard!
It is truly an honor to have you as one of our number, Father!
Thank you everybody: it is an honour to have been asked.
