| Holy
Family Parish gathers to say Farewell to Fr. Stan. |
|
After almost 7
years with us, Fr Stan moves to High Wycombe to
become Parish Priest of the parish of St Wulstan
and Our Lady of Grace.On
your behalf I thank Fr. Stan for all that he has
brought to our parish—his faith, his
courtesy, his hard work, his pleasant nature, his
smile, his love of his native Poland and many
other gifts.
We wish him well and assure him that there will
always be a warm welcome for him here at Holy
Family.....Fr. Kevin |

Frs. Kevin,
Emilio and Peter assisted at the evening Mass.
On behalf of the parish, Fr. Kevin wished Fr. Stan all
the best in his new position and presented him with a
gift from the parish.

Several of
the ladies then served glasses of wine and soft
drinks to all the congregation and Fr. Kevin
invited everyone to raise their glasses in a
toast to Fr. Stan.

In September,
2005, while visiting Holy Family Parish, Bishop Peter
made a presentation to Father Stan in recognition of him
achieving 30 years in the priesthood.

| On leaving
Holy Family Fr. Stan would like to say a warm thank you
to everyone. |

of the parish with whom he worked, Canons Bosco &
Kevin, also Fr Emilio.
To Kieran, Roni, Mick and all the Altar Servers, to the
Religious Sisters at St Bernard’s and to the

much kindness, assistance and many gifts.
Fr Stan thanks everyone for their support and prayers,
apologises for any inconvenience and misunderstanding
because of his language and culture and promises to keep
us all in his prayers.
