Thanks Bishop Kieran Conry


The Bishop was visiting the parish to bless a couple of classrooms in our school, afterwards I took him round to see a man who is very sick, he was pleased to do it, despite the fact that he had a meeting at the other end of the diocese.
I just wanted to thank my Bishop for his tenderness, kindness and pastoral concern, and ask to you to pray for Peter.

You are kind Fr Ray. Isn't that what bishops are supposed to do? A bit like a mother feeding a child?

He was exceptionally kind and tender.

Fr, has he changed his attitude towards the Extra-Ordinary Form. I heard a year or so back that he wasn't to fond of it or implementing Summorum Pontificum.

Becket,
I haven't discussed it with him.

How good to learn first hand what a good man Bishop Kieran is.

A friend of mine, sadly departed this life, knew Bishop Kieran and spoke highly of him.
