Fr Christopher Burgess AA anniversary Mass

 

Fr ChristopherThe First anniversary of the death of Fr Christopher Burgess was celebrated yesterday in our parish. With over 50 parishioners attending we celebrated with hymns from his Requiem Mass.  This was followed by a moving service of blessing at his gravestone in St John’s cemetery. Despite the chill wind that blew, the sun of the day and the memory of his loving smile kept us warm.
