On the Feast of St Anthony I celebrated the eleventh annivserary of my ordination to the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ. Thanks to the the generosity of the people of St Ann's Ashton under Lyne I was able to by my ordination chalice and paten. Having started life in a Relgious Order I was not able to have a chalice and paten of my own. Now eleven years later that has been remedied. Once again I record my grateful thanks to the people of St Ann's Ashton under Lyne and assure them of a remembrance in my prayers and at the altar.
