I would like to thank everyone for their
warmth and generosity last week for my Ordination to Diaconate. I know it
took a tremendous amount of time and effort to prepare everything. I’d need
a lot more than this newsletter if I was to thank people individually. My
family and I appreciated the warmth of your hospitality, the beauty of the
Church, the quality of the singing and of course the celebration afterwards.
It was wonderful to see so many people there, even though I have only been
with you a short time. It was a real blessing and I’m looking forward to
working with you in the Parish over the next couple of years.

Prayer of Consecration
The Word, coming from the Heart of his Father, made the world
emerge from nothing, and from the Heart of the incarnate Word, pierced
on Calvary. I see a new world emerging, the world of those he has chosen.
And this creation, so fertile, full of grandeur and inspired by love and
mercy, is the Church, the mystical, the Body of Christ, which makes this
new creation present on earth until the end of time
