Jack Kenny Receives the St David Medal from Bishop Burns

Tonight in Kidwelly, at the Church of Our Lady & St Cadoc, the parish came together for a Mass celebrated by Bishop Thomas Burns, our outgoing parish priest Fr. Thomas and our new parish priest Fr. Paul Joseph.

The Bishop was in our parish to present Jack Kenny with the newly established St David medal, for his many years of service to the parish.

With a chance to meet our new parish priest it was a most eventful evening.

Here are some photos from the evening:

Jack says a few words on his work for the Church in Kidwelly, to loud applause from all present.
