Welcoming Fr. David

Last Sunday we said farewell to Fr. Damian - and wished him well as he went off to St. Monica's Parish in Toronto. Ohhh the chocolate that left Bolton!
This Sunday, as we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent - we welcomed Fr. David Gikonyo, IMC to our parish. Born in Kenya, Fr. David spent the last 15 years in the United States: some of that time at Catholic University in Washington, DC studying Psychology; and the balance in New Jersey working for the Consolata Missionary offices. With Rythmic clapping he has introduced himself and part of his Kenyan culture. I am looking forward to his thoughtful presence here in Bolton.
This week has a full calendar in the Parish - including Confirmation Parent / Candidate / Sponsor meetings, Light up for Christ, and Adoration Friday!

Peace
