THANK YOU

Naturally, I was sorry that my sister and some of the family were not able to join me to celebrate my Golden Jubilee.Likewise, it was disappointing that we were not able to have get-togethers in each of the parishes.

However, you made up for all that in spectacular style. I am truly grateful for the messages of goodwill and I feel very honoured that you took so much trouble to mark the occasion so generously and in so many different ways.

I hope I was able to express some of that at the end of Mass last weekend and in my Thursday message. It has been a roller-coaster week and I feel somewhat of an emotional wreck. But may I just say that my hope and prayer is that I will have the health and strength to continue to serve Bishop Eton and St Mary’s for a good while to come.
