CLERGY APPOINTMENT
Archbishop Nolan has asked Fr Frank to take up a new appointment in another parish within the Archdiocese. This appointment will take effect on Friday 11th November when Fr Frank will move and St Ninian’s will welcome a new parish priest. The Archdiocese will formally announce all new appointments within the next few days. Fr Frank takes this opportunity of thanking everyone for your hospitality, care, kindness, understanding, friendship, spiritual, material and emotional support these past 12 years – it has been an honour, pleasure and joy to serve the people of St Ninian’s and wider neighbourhood, to journey together in faith and friendship – as ever my words are few – but sincere and from the heart. May God be gracious to us all today and in the days ahead.
