Before I started in Mato Grosso I told my superior here in Brazil that it was on condition that I could go home to celebrate Paddy's Ordination Silver Jubilee June 2007. The wish was granted. So there was a gathering of the clan, Bishop, clergy and the people of St. Senan's Parish, Enniscorthy. Here are some photos of the celebrations. It was also the first time I met the new Bishop of Ferns for the first time {as bishop}.
