Canon Liam O’Driscoll
Fri 05 May 2023Canon Liam O’Driscoll
On Friday evening the Parish community joined together to give thanks for the dedication and service that Canon Liam O'Driscoll has provided to our schools and parish over the past 27 years whilst in Trowbridge.
It was a fitting tribute for someone who has lived out the Gospel teaching with such love, energy and enthusiasm - reminding us all that God loves us!
The beautiful Mass was led by Bishop Declan and Canon Tom ensured that all the visiting priests and hundreds of parishioners were warmly welcomed. One of the 'gift's' that was offered to Canon Liam on the evening was through song where children from both St John's and St Augustine's Catholic College sang a rendition of the song 'May the Road Rise To Meet You'. The children were exemplary role models and we are so thankful for their contribution to the celebration with the support of Miss O'Mahony.
We wish Canon Liam a long and healthy retirement and look forward to his future visits to St John's.
