On the 27th May 2011, Fr.Roger McCarrick celebrated with his community at the Fiji Regional House, his 50th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination.
But on June 9th 2011, the Parish of Holy Eucharist, Laucala Bay came together to honour and celebrate this special ocassion first of all with the holy sacrifice of the Mass with the Archbishop Petero Mataca being the main celebrant, and Fr.Michael O'Connor SM doing the honours of preaching the homily. The second part of the celebration was organized by the Catholic Womens' League of the parish. It was a magnificent meal which was shared by all after the normal formalities: Kava ceremony, speeches, garlanding of the Jubilariant and the guest of honour, Archbishop Petero Mataca, cutting of the Golden Jubilee Cake. Below are some of the pictures taken from the celebration. |
