The second day of the Reunion was much lighter even than the first. The morning consisted of a trip out to Sion House and finished with lunch there. This year we were lucky because of the magnificent weather.
The afternoon was free and at 5.30 we celebrated Mass for the two confreres, Tom Cummins and Chris Wallbank, who were thanking God for 50 years of Missionary Oath this year. We also remembered Aylward Shorter and Richard Baawobr who died since our last Reunion as well as Dick Kinlen whose anniversary it was. It was also a time for remembering those who could not be with us, Don Anderson, Patrick O’Reilly and Patrick Harrity who are in care as well as the 3 confreres in Rutherglen who couldn’t make it.
We were also fortunate to have 3 MSOLA with us. We remembered Sr Marion who died a short time ago and Sr Pat Kent who died only a few days ago.
After the Mass, since the weather was still gorgeous, we sat and chatted in the garden with a buffet supper and a cake for the Jubilarians.
