As the Church of Our Lady of Reconciliation de la Salette prepared to celebrate its 170th Anniversary, the parish welcomed Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald to celebrate Mass.
Cardinal Fitzgerald has a personal connection with the parish, as his uncle, Canon Michael Twomey, was the parish priest of the church for over 30 years.
During his homily, he recalled a story from his uncle about the parish prayers and singing hymns during the war, which was fascinating to hear.
Cardinal Fitzgerald was delighted to visit the parish ahead of his move to a community for the Society of Missionaries of Africa in London.
The parishioners of Our Lady of Reconciliation de la Salette Church thank Cardinal Michael dearly for his kindness in visiting and in saying such a beautiful Mass in the leadup to their anniversary, and send their prayers and best wishes for his move to his new home.
