Today we sadly have to report that Fr.David is leaving us. Sadly back in December Fr.David announced that he would be leaving us in February. This seamed so far off but time has just flown by and that time is now here.
Fr David's Farewell notice:
Today is my last morning St Edmund’s Parish. It is regrettable, but I must do what Bishop Patrick requires me to do. It has been a pleasure to meet all of you and, at least, begin to get to know you. Lesley and I thank you all so much for your kindness, hard work, and willingness to meet new challenges. We would have loved the opportunity to have journeyed with you further, but alas it was not to be. You must now continue on with your new Priest in Charge: Canon Alf Hayes. I am sure you will extend to him the same very warm welcome Lesley and I received when we arrived. Please keep us in your prayers, and we will pray for you and St Edmund’s Parish.
A few words from the Parish Secretary:
It is with sad hearts that today we bid a fond farewell to Fr. David Burns. He has been with us for only a short time, yet in this time he has shown such love and care for all here at St. Edmund’s. We wish him health and happiness at his new parish in Milnthorpe.
Please continue to pray for Fr.David & Lesley, that with God's Grace they may find happiness in there new Parish in Milnthorpe.
Goodbye Fr. David you will be missed!
