I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Fr. Christopher to Ss. Peter & Paul’s Parish. For the last couple of years Fr. Christopher has worked in Athleague Parish. Having met him a number of times since he came to work in the diocese I have always found him friendly and welcoming. I am confident that he will settle into our parish well. Fr. Christopher will be living at Forthill House on Battery Road, telephone 0906492171.
I ask you to keep him and all the priests of the parish in your prayers, that we may be worthy ministers of Christ in our community.
Welcome Fr. Christopher
