Tonight we had a farewell Mass for Fr Ben who is leaving St Dominic's to go to Montenotte in Cork.
He gave a lovely homily about being thankful to God for all the goodness he had experienced from the community during both of his ten year stints here.
Most of all, he made it all so simple - Love God and do your best, and know that God loves us no matter that we aren't perfect yet.
After Mass, we had tea and buns and lots of chat with people many of whom I hadn't seen for ages.I love my parish. Such lovely people and I got a chance to ring the bell during Mass, though afterwards Sr Blaithnid told me that bells were gone since Vatican II. Imagine - and I never noticed. Hope they bring them back
