I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended my leaving mass last weekend and to all who prepared the party in the hall afterwards. I am also very grateful for the extremely generous gifts that I received both last weekend and as I left in October. I will never forget my time in New Southgate and everything that you have all done for me. I will continue to remember you all in my prayers and will offer a mass for your intentions.
