One of our parish priests, Fr Jerry Kennedy, is retiring next month. He is the chaplain to the Knights of Columbus, so they threw him a retirement party this evening. He is the priest that baptized Edward right before his surgery, so we have always liked him. He loves the kids too. They were the only ones there, I guess everyone else got babysitters. All the priests were happy to see them though, they all love kids. Fr William sat at our table, and he and Dave talked a lot. We also got to talk to Fr Jerry for a while, and the other two priests. When Dave was helping to clear up at the end, Fr Padraig grabbed him and persuaded him to give a speech at the 11am mass on Father's Day, about being a Catholic father. I think he's a bit nervous about it, but I'm sure he'll do really well.
Fr William took this picture. I asked him to do it as he has a similar camera, and seems to know what he's doing. In fact, I think he did a better job that the official photographer!
