Family honoured by Pope
Congratulations to all those Christians chosen to receive the Eucharist from the Holy Father in Wellington on Sunday November 23rd, last year.
We were brought up to appreciate and be grateful for all the things granted to us in life. Words could not express the gratitude
and love I felt for my father when he told me in humility that he had been invited to receive the Eucharist from the Holy Father.
He is a devoted husband and family man with three sons and five daughters, all of whom have been raised in the Catholic Faith.
I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the entire community responsible for choosing our father from amongst so many worthy devoted and devout Christians to receive this honour”.
