Father Pat will celebrate a Mass here in our parish, a Mass of Thanksgiving for over 51 years as a priest. For 22 of these he was our parish priest. The Mass will be at 10.30am on Sunday 29th June. It will be an opportunity to meet him and thank him for his unwavering pastoral leadership.
We will also use this opportunity to thank and say our goodbyes to Fr Charles for his immeasurable support to our parish community for the past 5 years.
Mass will be followed by Parish BBQ Celebration down in the hall and garden. Do come and tell former parishioners who may wish to, to come also.
To express our gratitude for Fr Pat and Fr Charles’ hard work and wish them success in their future endeavours, we will be having a collection for them. Should you wish to make a donation you can do so by putting money in an envelope clearly marked “Fr Pat” or “Fr Charles”. You can also donate using the contactless machines in the Church or online with Fr Pat or Fr Charles as a reference.
Help required: To make the above celebration a success we will need YOUR help!. We expect a great many people will come to the Mass & reception afterwards and so we will need help with the setting up, catering & clearing up.
