Farewell to our Parish Secretary Angela
We wish a fond farewell to Angela, our Parish Secretary who will be leaving us on Friday 28th March.
Angela generously placed her gifts of patience and warmth into her many duties as Secretary, especially looking after the needs of our parishioners in the happy times and also through challenges or sad occasions. Her leadership has been a beacon for us all. We are extremely grateful for her expertise with safeguarding, technology, publishing of newsletters, and so many other tasks.
Angela will be sadly missed, but she leaves us with many cheerful memories.
May God bless her with success and joy in her future endeavours.
Sincerely, Fr. Jose and St Rita’s Parishioners
