On 30 May 1942, he was ordained by Archbishop Downey.

1943

After six months as a curate at St Oswald's Church, Old Swan, Liverpool, he then served at St Elizabeth's, Litherland (1943 to 1952), and then as Chaplain at Walton Prison.

Harris was the principal consecrator of the Cathedral during Archbishop Beck's infirmity.

As the first Roman Catholic Cathedral to be built in the 20th century in England, the event attracted international importance; it was featured on European TV.
