A Note Of Sincere Thanks
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all who attended the Mass of
Thanksgiving on Friday evening in celebration of my silver jubilee. Your
presence, support and kindness is much appreciated. A very special thank you
to the organising committee who were instrumental in bringing the evening to
flourishing. Also, to all who helped with the Mass, our parish choir, readers
and priests who attended. Sincere thanks for the mass booklet and prayer
card in remembrance of the night. Thank you to everyone who contributed to
the lovely gift I receive on the night. To St. John's GAA, the Soccer Club, and
St. Michael's Prayer Group for your remembrance on the night. To St. Enda's
National School and the Parents Association for your kindness. To everyone
who prepared the Church, especially members of the Altar Society for the
celebration. Also to those who helped to erect the bunting, flags and banner.
Finally, to all who dropped in a card with supportive and kind words in
remembrance of the Silver Jubilee. Your support and kindness is
appreciated. Let us continue to pray for each other in our Parish.
