Yesterday we joined Fr. Marcus to celebrate the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, and to mark the 40th anniversary of his appointment as an ordained priest.

We also heard the announcement from Bishop Robert that Fr. Marcus is appointed a Canon. This recognises his wonderful work and leadership in the parish and his excellent outreach into the community.

A truly joyous occasion.

More background on the appointment will follow. But, for now, we join in prayers of thanks and congratulations.
