Fr Greg Skulski welcomed to St Patrick's, Gosford

The Community of St Patrick’s, East Gosford welcomed Fr Greg Skulski as their new Priest on Sunday 3 February, 2019. St Patrick’s has been served by the Salvatorian Order for 17 years  and the packed church on Sunday gives us an indication of the Trust, Love and Respect the people of St Patrick’s have for the Salvatorian Priests.

Fr Greg proclaimed a year of Trust for St Patrick’s for 2019 and his homily gave the example of a little boy on top of a building that was on fire. The father was on the ground and could see the boy but the boy could not see the father. Dad told the little boy to jump, but the boy said “I can’t see you.” Dad replied “It is OK son I can see you just jump and I will catch you.”

At the end of the Homily, by the expressions of everyone’s faces, everybody is ready to jump into action., to help build Trust, Love and Respect to an even higher level. Following the previous weekend Mass when we said our farewell and God’s Blessings to Fr Tadeusz when we also had a packed church, it is apparent that St Patrick’s will continue its loving, caring and inclusive ethos.

A significant number of parishioners stayed behind after Mass to enjoy a cuppa and cake and for an opportunity to meet with Fr Greg.
