Dear, Fr. Patrick,
Thank you for your kind wishes and prayers.
On St. Bernard's Day we will have a special celebration.
In the course of marking the Silver Jubilee of his Ordination as Bishop, Cardinal Keith O'Brien very kindly visiting the community and presiding at the Solemnity of Saint Bernard at Nunraw.

My dear friends at Nunraw,

I thank you, most sincerely, for the recent remembrance in your prayers and your good wishes   when I celebrated the Silver Jubilee of my Ordination as a Bishop last Thursday 5th August 2010. 

I know that Nunraw will be well represented in our Cathedral at the "official" celebrations on Wednesday 8th September 20 I do and I do look forward to that.

As you know, Nunraw has always been part of my life from my schoolboy days -- as, indeed, part of the lives of so many people in Scotland.

May God, indeed, bless you all as I pray for you and for the years ahead - hoping that in return you will, indeed, pray for me.

With my kindest regards, good wishes and very sincere thanks and prayers.

Yours sincerely in Christ
