A wee message from Canon Andrew
I would like to say a most sincere thank you to everyone who helped make the celebration of my 25th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood so special. It was a splendid night, the memories of which I will treasure. Thank you also for the most generous cheque you afforded me to mark the occasion. This is very much appreciated.
With every best wish,
Canon Andrew
