Father Donald's Golden Jubilee

In case he is too shy to tell you himself, I interrupt this broadcast to tell you that today, St John's Day, was Father Donald's Golden Jubilee of Ordination to the Priesthood. Conventual Mass at 11 in the Abbey was followed by a very pleasant lunch in the Guest House. Despite the short notice a reasonable crowd of family and friends turned up, including of course, his brother, Father Nivard, whose own Golden Jubilee is next month, and four of their five sisters - Noreen, Mary, Patricia and Josephine. Ad multos laetissimos annos.
