I was very touched by the many cards and gifts from you and for the cheque from the Parish. Thank you.

There is a little bit of Guernsey within me forever and it was a privilege to be among you. I pray for your new beginnings with Fr Inna and Fr Benedict.

May the Lord guide and bless them in their ministry. A la perchoine.
