Fr Padya Sj First mass, Waterfalls Parish 27 July 2014

In gratitude to God for this priesthood i had my first mass at Waterfalls Parish, St Francis of Assisi on the 27th of July 2014.
i remain grateful to Bishop Dieter Scholtz Sj who ordained me on the 26th of July 2014 at St Georges College.
i am grateful to Fr Von Nidda Sj who preached so well at the first mass and for all the other priests and religious who came to support me. i am more grateful to Fr Mukupo OFM, my parish priest and his ordination team and all the faithful of Waterfalls parish for honouring me with such a beautiful celebration. the choir sang exceptionally well with dancers glorifying God and the alter servers reminding me of my time as one of them some years back.
i remain grateful to the Poor Claire Sisters who prepared everything for the mass especially for their prayers during my formation time.....these are my mothers.
lastly i thank my family for being there always from the beginning of my Jesuit life. may God bless you all.
