We the members of the parish have assembled here to spend a few- social hours with you, and to express our appreciation of your work as pastor of St. Columban Church. It is with mixed emotions that we, gather here to honor you. Let us take a few moments to reflect on each of these feelings. . First, we feel regret that we are losing Such a devoted priest who has served St, Columban parishioners so generously for the past 15 years. • On the other hand, we can share in your happiness and joy at being able to retire with your sister in London after 45 years of faithful service as a priest. A feeling of fondness will be ever present, for you have, endeared yourself to your parishioners by your unselfish devotion to the parish's spiritual and temporal welfare. Next, we must express our appreciation for your zeal in developing parish activities, your guidance of the young children through your visits to St. Columban School and your drive for improvements in the Church and rectory. With a thankful heart, we are hopeful that. you may enjoy a well-deserved rest in the autumn of your years and that God will bless you with many years of health and happiness. Just to conclude then Father, we will miss you, and we will pray for.. -you. When you retire, take with you the satisfaction that it was a race well run. Carry with you the best wishes of your St. Columban parishioners and this prayer for you: 0 Jesus we pray for your faithful and fervent priest Father Oostveen. The priest who baptized the new members of St. Columban; the priest who absolved us from our sins; the priest who offeree Mass and gave us the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist in Holy Communion; the priest who joined many of our young couples in Holy Matrimony; the priest who administered to the sick and anointed the dying. 0 Jesus keep Father Oostveen close to your heart, for we, your people, are indebted to him in many ways.
