FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH
New Years Greetings
I wish to extend New Year’s greetings and good wishes for 2010 to you all. I hope the year ahead will bring you health and happiness and I pray for God’s blessings on all your work and undertakings in 2010. May God guide and direct all our efforts during the New Year. I pray for God’s blessings on all families and I pray especially for children in examination classes and those who are seeking employment. May you all be successful in your endeavours. I welcome all who have come to live in our community. I wish those people and their families happiness and success in our parish. With God’s help and guidance may the year ahead be a good year for us all.
