Browsing Father Peter announces Parish Goals

February 11

Dear St Joseph Parishioners,

It is with great joy I can share with you that I went to see my mother yesterday for the first time in her room. I am so grateful for your prayers. We hope that over the next five days all her children will get to be with her face to face. Travel, entering NZ, and following all that the Government has asked everyone to do has required a lot of time and effort but it was so worth it just to have that time with Mom.

You are all in my prayers! Today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and my brother Simon and I will celebrate Mass with Mom. Back in 1986 we traveled to the States and Europe and one of our stops was Lourdes. It was a very moving and powerful experience! Be assured of my prayers for all the families at St Joseph’s. Fr Stephen, a special thanks to you for covering the Parish I know they are all very happy you are there.

God bless, Fr Peter
