Silver JubileeOn the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross,September 14th, Fr Smith presided at a Mass to celebrate his Silver Jubilee of Ordination to the priesthood.

 

Fr Smith spoke movingly of his journey to the priesthood, first in the Benedictine Order and subsequently as a Diocesan Priest. He spoke of the moment the Lord 'confirmed' for him that he had made the right choice to become a priest, it was whilst celebrating a dawn Mass on Mount Krisavats in Medjugorje 20 years ago.

 

Fr Smith was supported on the sanctuary by Fr Lakeland and Fr Loughran. Afterwards in the Parish Hall a reception was held and presentations were made. A very happy occasion.
