YES WE REMEMBER - A POEM FROM OUR RESIDENT POET

This poem marks Bishop Ralph's Golden Jubilee of ordination.

YES, WE REMEMBER

How can it be

So many years have flown,

Yet, enduring BE flock

Still remember the gentle shepherd’s

Tender care and warmth.

But, as Redemptorist protocol prescribes,

Our cherished pastors

Move on to enigmas new.

No mystery who updated us

With snippets of your progress –

In familiar homeland

And even warmer climes!

Now, Your Odyssey has run full circle.

Dear Ralph,

Ever true to your vows and principles,

On this Golden Celebration,

You are in our hearts and prayers.
