Papal Award At Blackfen...

2014-06-09 19.31.56The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has awarded the Benemerenti to one of Blackfen's parishioners (we are now a three-Benemerenti parish!) and we had a Mass to celebrate the occasion and make the presentation.

Bishop Pat Lynch celebrated the Mass, and presented the medal and citation to Hilda, who has been a stalwart of the parish for more years than it would be polite to mention...

In an interesting twist, Hilda had to help the bishop out by figuring out how the pin fastening actually worked...

Warmest congratulations to Hilda on such a very well-deserved award! You can see more photos on my Flickr page.
