Thank you John and Happy Retirement

From Fr David, Elston Hermitage

It is with sadness we learn of your retirement as Editor after 25 years - but as scripture reminds us " there is a time for all things "

I am sure over those years you will have witnessed many changes in our diocese.

I know that we are most grateful for your faithful and diligent service to us many bishops, priests and religious throughout those years and not least as a parishioner of Holy Trinity our own parish which I get very little opportunity to share in these days.

John, both Fr Richard and myself wish you every blessing for your retirement and hopefully will see you and your good wife around Elston for many years to come.

With the assurance of our prayers
