We express our sincere gratitude for all that our friars do for our parish — through the celebration of the Mass, the Sacraments, their preaching, pastoral visits, and the many quiet ways they care for us each day. Their dedication strengthens our faith and draws us closer to Christ.

We extend special appreciation to Rev. Fr. Mike for his prayers and blessings. I remain deeply grateful and will always cherish the memory of my baptism at the Church of St. Mary of the Angels. We thank God for his ministry and for his faithful and loving service to our parish community.

“I thank God every time I remember our Friars.”

Thank you so much, Friar Mike and Friar Aiden for the gift of yourselves, for shepherding the SMOTA flock towards our Lord and Saviour.

You have been a blessing to us and I pray you continue to be a blessing to all you encounter as you go to your next ‘adventure’. Good things always come to an end; we will miss you both!

May the peace and joy of Christ be with you always. 🙏

Cheers! Tess G.

Thank you Friar Mike for everything you’ve done for SMOTA. We started attending the masses here last year and what we’ve appreciated so much is that you do God’s work in such warm, sincere and approachable ways. Your presence will be very missed

As online viewers, we were grateful to discover the masses at St. Mary of the Angels a few years ago. Our family was always delighted to hear your masses in particular, as your homilies have been very inspirational, rich with lessons and wonderfully delivered. We will miss them, and we pray that we will have the chance to listen to your sermons once more in your next undertaking. Thank you very much and best wishes.

A heartfelt thanks to the Parish team for their dedicated unflinching service in the Parish of St Mary of the Angels.

But especially to Fra M D'Cruz whose homilies are a reflection of the man himself: you never quite know what to expect! Haha. I'm going to miss those dearly.

And now as you leave to where the Hand of God leads you, let my prayers and good wishes be your constant companion.

Peace and all good.

We are certainly going to miss you.

May God bless and guide you in your next ministry.

Dear Fr Mike

You have spent 6 wonderful years as parish priest. You have made St. Mary's an excellent parish with your creative and innovative programmes. You were always present when we needed. I personally enjoyed your homilies which you prepared with much research and care and delivered with humour and love.

We are certainly going to miss you as parish priest. May God bless you abundantly in your next ministry.

Gratefully,

Beatrice F

Thank you Fr. Mike for your dedication to parish of SMOTA. I had such an enlightening experience attending church. It was exciting anticipating what you and all the friars organize for the community of St. Mary. Going to miss your creativity and jokes. Most of all, will miss your homilies. Take care and all the best in your future undertakings. 🤗
