An Unexpected Gift & Anniversary
Last night Sherry and I attended the annual Church Society Dinner held at the Clarendon Hotel in Old Quebec.
The dinner follows the business meeting of this very old missionary society. We had both assumed that the evening would be filled with wonderful company, great food and drink and a wonderful address. Little did we know that half way through the evening the Archbishop informed the gathering of my departure from the diocese and spoke of my involvement in advocating for the lower north shore fishers and plant workers when hit by a crisis back in 2003.
What followed this very humbling introduction was the presentation of a gift...
Indeed I will always value my ministry in the Diocese of Quebec, and thank God for the opportunities and strength Christ Jesus gave to my family and I during that time. It will go up in a prominent place to remind me of my roots.
By the way, today, ordinarily the Feast of St. Mark, is my fourth (4) anniversary to the priesthood.
