Fr. Dominic May's First Mass and Goodbye to Fr. Boulet - August 6, 2006

Fr. Boulet and Fr. May

Mixed feelings accompanied the Solemn High Mass on Sunday, August 6. The whole parish was grateful for the visit from newly ordained Canadian pirest Fr. Dominic May from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. There were the many graces attached to his First Mass in this city as well as his First Blessings of each of the parishioners. On the other hand, the parish had to say goodbye to their long-time pastor, Fr. Dominique Boulet. We have know him here for over 15 years, although he was away for some of that time in Winnipeg. He was present when the Langley church was purchased and worked hard for many years to obtain the recent rectory next door. The other parishes in B.C. including Vernon, Nanaimo, Kamloops and Oliver as well as numerous missions will miss him too. God bless you at your new post at the retreat house of Shawinigan Father!
