Farewell Rev Father William Michael

On Saturday, 18 June 2011, the parish of Holy Family Church Kajang hosted a dinner at our church hall with a number of purpose. Foremost was to wish our parish priest, Rev Father William Michael farewell as he will be going to Canada to further his studies. The dinner was also to celebrate Rev Father George Harrison's appointment as our next Parish Priest and Rev Father Peter Bretaudeau. We were also very happy to have Rev Father Antoine Henriot and Rev Father John Amalanathan to join us for the celebration.

More than 900 parishioners came for the dinner. The food was very good and was catered by a Sekinchan caterer. Fresh, tasty and value for money.

A number of performances were given which entertained those present. There was even a dance by the African community which was most entertaining.

The parish also presented a token to Rev Father William as a farewell gift from the parish. There was also a cake cutting to celebrate father's day and it was joy to see all the priests also dancing to the music.

Unfortunately, I was unable to take photos until the end. It was a good dinner with lots of fellowship and also the chance for the parishioners to show their love for Father William and to wish him well in his future undertakings. God bless him. You can see more photos and a video of him at our parish website, www.hfckajang.org.

Until the next time, cheers.
