Fr Barrie’s 80th. We congratulate Fr Barrie who reaches this milestone on the 18th of this month. He too will be away for a week from next Saturday, enjoying some holiday with his sister. His recovery from so much serious illness has been quite remarkable and we remain immensely grateful for all he is able to contribute to the life of both our parishes. For the record, Fr Brian Russell will be 77 on the 24th.
