FR. TIM. As you know this is my last Sunday here
at St. Mary's. The last 8 years have gone by very quickly! There
isn't enough space here to write all I would like to say. But
most importantly I would like to say thank you to all of you. M
time here has been very happy indeed, and St. Mary's will always
have a very special place in my heart. This is a wonderful Parish
not to mention the Church, one I know you are proud of. More
important than buildings are the people who make up the Church in
this area, and here in Batley the faith is still important to a
lot of people. As I leave may God bless you all and thank you.
Let us pray for each other. I would also like to say a big thank
you to Batley Nash for their very kind presentation last
Monday.
