Fr Jim is leaving!

This weekend is my last weekend as Parish Priest of St. Patrick’s, St. Malachy’s and SJMDP.  

I will be moving to Mosley on Friday this week, after the last of the First Holy Communions, for the children of St Edmunds School.

What can I say? Other than thank you to you all.  It has been a pleasure serving you for the past 5 years, (and 7yrs for the deaf community). 

I have met some wonderful people along my journey here, and feel that I have made some friends for life.  

I ask that you continue to pray for me as I move parishes, as I will keep you all in my daily prayers.  

There are so many people I would like to thank individually, but I am terrified I might forget someone; so, you know who you are, 

all those lovely people who have helped me in so many ways, not only physically in the jobs that you do 

but also in the many experiences I have had along the way, memories I will take with me and treasure. 

‘They’ told me before I came here, that the people of Collyhurst were unique,

and that has been proved to be true, with some of the biggest funerals I have ever seen,

showing the support people here have for one another, and the many things that you have accomplished together as a community. 

I wish each and everyone of you the best of luck for the future and may God continue to bless you all.

Fr Peter is now home from hospital, and he also would like me to add his thanks 

for the many kindnesses shown to him in his retirement among us; especially in his recent illness 

with all the love and prayers he has received since his stroke.  

He continues to make good progress, and I pray that he will make a full recovery in the coming months. 

So on behalf of both of us, a huge thank you to you all.
