Saying Khuda Hafiz to Fr. Amer

On Friday, 26th March, Kildalkey N.S. said a sad Goodbye or 'Khuda Hafiz' to Fr. Amer Yakwob, the local priest of the school for the past five years.

A keen visitor to the school before COVID times, the classes, and indeed the staff and parents, of Kildalkey are sad to see him return to Pakistan.

In honour of his leaving, a new tree was freshly sown in the garden and a socially distant ceremony was held for the departing clergyman. Dancers, speeches and some traditional music were to the fore in a beautiful ceremony.

Thanks to all who helped organise, participate in and contribute to the ceremony.

Thanks to Father Amer for all he has done. He won't be forgotten.
