I wish to thank the Aged Care Committee, and St Vincent’s Care Services for their ongoing advice concerning this most difficult period in our history.

I would like to sincerely thank Fr John Kelliher MSC and Fr Dominic Gleeson MSC for their implementation of this present lockdown and for making certain this lockdown will be effective in protecting our men.

Above all, my personal thanks to each and every one of you my brothers, who are residing in Sacred Heart Monastery and St Mary’s Towers, for your understanding and cooperation in keeping yourself and members of our community safe.
