What a wonderful day it was. First the “Good Lord” sent a beautiful sunny day. Mass at St George’s & St Wilfrid’s was very special and started off this very extraordinary occasion. Celebrations all day in both halls suitably decorated. Fr Rory enjoyed it all on his very happy day. It was so lovely to have his family around him. The banquets of food were overwhelming and the entertainment; Storyteller, Magician, Irish Dancers, Indian Dancers and Great Band where we all let ourselves go! With singing, some dancing and the “conga” , others taping our feet under the table. The atmosphere was electric. A very big thank you to all the committee who organized the event and an extra special thank you to Sandra (amazing party planner) and her family for making the day run so smoothly. We are blessed in both communities with many good helpers and we do appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes and on the day itself, without your hard work and time given freely, none of these wonderful celebrations would happen. Well done all of you, Fr Rory himself was so happy and proud of all the work that was done on his behalf.
A Big Thank You to our Fr Rory. You may not be the most practical person! But to us you are a wonderful priest carrying out your duties from the day you were ordained. You have a special gift of making a person feel special and when saying mass the person thinks it is said just for them. Please continue to be you Fr Rory and stay with us for as long as our Bishop will allow. God bless you always.
