This is a little “thank you” note to mark my 25 happy years in this Parish. I thank God for his goodness to me and for giving me these 25 good years in the midst of very good people. I thank Fr Dermot, and you, the people of the Parish for all your kindness and generosity to me – the wee reception you gave me in the Pastoral Centre warmed my heart. I hope God gives me some more happy years with you. Thank you and God bless you all.

Fr. Eamon.
