Recently we had two farewells for Fr Simeon who has been with us for many months and is now leaving for other parts of the Diocese, most immediately, Emerald.

 The nights of farewell were of mixed emotions. Sadness that Fr Simeon was leaving us after so many months.   Delight and celebration that he had indeed been part of our lives for so many months.

 We celebrated in fine style with food (of course) and song and dance. Fr Simeon was resplendent in his national costume and we were reminded again of how he had become part of our parish family, and part of our hearts.

 May God's blessing go with you Fr Simeon on your journey, around the Diocese, and into the very heart of God.
