Dear Parishioners,

I write to express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful send-off you gave me last week end. To the parish council who organised it, to all the people who brought food and drink, to those who provided music and entertainment to those who cleared up and indeed to all who came to the Mass or to the hall I thank you most sincerely. Thanks also for the many gifts received. I normally don’t get emotional but I was deeply touched by so many saying thanks and wishing me well for the future. I can only pray that God will continue to bless all of you. It was a joy and a privilege to have been your priest and I ask that you pray for me as I take on a new job here in Dromantine and please do give Frs Gus and Kevin the love and support you gave me.                Fr John
