Canon Chris 30th Anniversary of Ordination – Mass of Thanksgiving – 18th July – 6:00pm – St Joseph’s Church

Canon Chris 30th Anniversary of Ordination – Mass of Thanksgiving on the 18th July at 6:00pm in St Joseph’s Church.

The priestly journey demands immense sacrifice and unwavering dedication to Gods work. Recognizing this is not only an opportunity to offer gratitude but also to highlight the indispensable quality of sacrifice and dedication required in our own spiritual lives. Our Mass of thanksgiving for the Priesthood of Canon Chris will be a wonderful opportunity for the entire parish to come together to celebrate and to give thanks.

For those who are able refreshments will be available afterwards in the Parish garden or hall (weather depending). If you are able to bring a small plate of savoury or sweet finger food for Canon Chris’s post Mass reception please drop it into the Parish Office during the day or the Parish Room before the Mass. Pre-packaged food would be welcome for those that are able, as it would be easier to take leftovers to the food bank. Please do make every effort to celebrate with us!
