I wish to thank all the members of the Pastoral Council, the Eucharistic
Ministers, the Readers, the choir members, the offertory collectors, the ladies
who clean and decorate the churches, the two ladies who organise the liturgy
throughout the year Evelyn Callaghan & Kathleen Reilly and the members of
the Board of Management of Crosskeys Central School.
The altar servers. I wish to thank all those who supported me by paying their
dues.
When Fr. Donal comes, those who have booked
weddings over the next few years, could check with him as to whether he is
available or not to perform the marriage. I don't come back to do weddings or
baptisms as I think it is unfair to the resident priest.
