Dear Parishioner and Gentle Reader,

I wish to thank many people for their good wishes, kind messages and welcome prayers. Thank God everything is fine; the surgery on Tuesday went well and apart from a little pain,

I am doing well. During these days of convalescing, I welcome the opportunity to reflect on so many blessings and I ask God to keep all our parishioners in his loving care.

With kind regards, Fr Colum

Grant them Eternal Rest, O Lord
