The day of Fr Mariusz’s departure for a 3 month Long Service Holiday, we were able to celebrate as a parish community his milestone achievement of his 25th year Anniversary of his Ordination to the Sacred Priesthood. We started with 10am Mass which was con-celebrated by Fr George and Fr Francis. Our Parish Pastoral chair Mr David Grieve on behalf of the Parish, presented Fr Mariusz with a framed Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis and said that he was a valued gift to our Parish, dedicated to the service of the people. Mass was followed by a Morning Tea in the Parish Centre.
