🙏 A Farewell to Remember

Saturday’s Mass of Thanksgiving and Farewell for Fr Pat was a truly special occasion. The church was full to the brim, and the livestream drew viewers from far and wide, a testament to the profound impact Fr Pat has had on so many lives.

Fr Pat has expressed his heartfelt thanks for the many generous gifts he received from parish groups and individuals, deeply touched by the kindness shown to him over the years. On behalf of the parish, a special plaque was presented to Fr Pat to mark his 33 years of faithful service, celebrating his dedication and commitment.
