CONGRATULATIONS FR JOHNSON
2022 has been a big year for Fr Johnson. Earlier this year, he marked 30 years since his ordination to the priesthood, and last Wednesday was also his sixtieth birthday. The whole parish joins in wishing Fr Johnson many happy returns on his birthday and we send him good wishes and prayers. The auxiliary bishop of Fr Johnson’s home diocese will visit him next week, and a Mass for the parish to celebrate with Father Johnson will be arranged in due course.
FR DAVID WRITES
I have returned from my much–needed break! It is lovely to be back among you. I spent some time with my parents and family, including my little nephew. Everyone at home is doing well and send their love and best wishes to you all. It was especially nice to celebrate Mass in my home parish. Thank you to Fathers Jerome, Johnson and Michael for looking after everything during my break. I hope everyone has been enjoying a pleasant and relaxing summer, even in this heat! X
