A Saturday Spent with Friends at a Wedding

On Saturday, September 18th, I had the privilege to join in the celebration of Amanda and Jimmy's wedding.  Amanda and her colleagues from St. Peter's Residence at Chedoke, Hamilton helped our family through a number of difficult years.  The staff at St. Peter's cared for and loved on my father until he passed away in 2009 after enduring years of Alzheimer's disease. 

When Amanda asked me to officiate at their wedding, I felt honoured and moved.   I explained to her that I was ordained mainly to minister in jails and that I seldom do marriages.  Being part of this special day, with such special people is a day I'll always remember.  The staff at St. Peter's have become like family.  My daughter Raquel joined the celebration and remembers the care give to her Papa.  Blessings to you all at St. Peter's.
