Bishop Richard’s Visit to St. George’s was a great success. The Bishop celebrated Mass with Fr Rory and thanked us all for the support we are giving to Father during his recuperation. Bishop Richard commented that Father looked “ten years younger!” The Mass was followed by a delicious Continental breakfast in the Hall. The church and hall were bedecked with beautiful flowers, there was food in abundance and everyone enjoyed talking to Bishop Richard as he spent time with us. Warmest thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to the festive atmosphere – without such a supportive and willing team of helpers these occasions would not happen. Thank you also to parishioners from both our churches who gave their time to celebrate with us.
