Farewell to Fr. Samuel
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and farewell to Fr. Samuel, whose final Sunday Mass with our parish community will be this weekend. We are grateful for his guidance, support, and service to our school and parish. On Friday 9 October, our Faith Leaders will present a small farewell presentation to Fr. Samuel on the Tigur Turf during the mindfulness session after lunch. Staff will also join together for a morning tea to thank him for his contribution to our community. We wish Fr. Samuel every blessing for the future.
