On September 8th, we celebrated God’s wonderful blessings for our Jubilarians in the IBP. Fr Tim Lehane (Provincial) was the main celebrant and Fr Henry Berlage was the preacher during the Eucharistic celebration in the chapel in our SVD house in Maynooth. We congratulate Frs. Norman Davitt (S70), Henry Barlage (V60), Martin McPake (V60), Michael Joyce (V60), Thomas Kearney (V50), John Bettison (S40), Albert Escoto (V40), Kieran Fitzharris (S40), John McAteer (V40), and Kevin Keenan (S25). Fr Provincial has given this Irish blessings to our Jubilarians:
“May God continue to fill your hearts with gladness. May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that’s always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through”
