Thank You for Friday!

Posted

I would very much like to thank those who made Friday evening such a memorable occasion for myself and the Parish. Though I have been ordained for 26 years this is the first time I have been Inducted to a particular role in the church. The obligation seems quite daunting but I feel assuared with your help all that is required by the Parish Priest is indeed a realisable opportunity.

I wish to thank the Altar Servers, musicians, all those who helped with the Liturgy and all those who made the Reception such a lovely evening.

Fr Peter.

On Wednesday 27th July, Fr Christopher will be leaving St Margarets, having provided us with all the Church’s services and support over a period of 2 ½ years. We wish him all the best wherever his future takes him.

Here is a final message from Fr Christopher before he leaves:

Dear Friends in Christ,

The time has flown by and I shall be going on Sabbatical which I am looking forward to.

Dear Friends in Christ,

I can now formally inform you that I shall be leaving St Margaret of Scotland. My time here has gone ever so quickly.

I shall be going on Sabbatical and my successor is Canon Peter Newby who will take up his position here in September and he will also be Chaplain to St Mary's University.

I take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your kindness and generosity. I wish you all every blessing and may God bless you all.
