Bernard’s Farewell : January 22nd 2012
One year almost to the day since Archdeacon Bernard Wilkinson (pictured at left) took on Saint Peter’s as a regular "temporary intermin Priest" for the duration of our interregnum, Parishioners and other well-wishers farewelled him at morning tea after the Solemn Eucharist this morning.
Speaking at the event, Bishop’s Warden Tubby Hopkins pointed out that Bernard had been more than a Sunday Services Fill-in. He had also spent many hours in the Parish visiting and undertaking many other pastoral tasks normally performed only by a full time Vicar. For this, said Tubby, we are all most grateful.
Bernard was presented with various gifts from the Parish and from Parishioners, including a certificate of appreciation as a permanent record of our appreciation.
A section of the crowd applauds Archdeacon Bernard Wilkinson following his remarks.
