Today 21st July 2020 is the Golden Jubilee of Priesthood of Fr Tim Buckley.  In his recent letter Fr Provinical said:

We join with Fr Tim in thanking God for this gift of 50 years in the Lord’s service. I believe it would be impossible to fully appreciate the service that Fr Tim gas given and the countless number of people that his ministry has touched and whose lives have been significantly transformed. 

Ad multos annos!

We thank Fr Tim for permission to share some photos of his ordination and first Mass

In the photos above at his ordination Mass and below at his 'First Mass' Fr Tim is pictured giving Holy Communion to his mum.
