Comment from Bishop Smith:
"I want to thank most sincerely our priests who are retiring from administrative duties while continuing to provide a pastoral support in the parishes.
"They have generously served the Lord and His people throughout their lives.
"I wish God’s blessing upon all who are taking up new responsibilities and, in this “Year for Priests”, I ask you to pray for them and work with them in proclaiming the Good News.”
