With Grateful Hearts: Honouring Sr Lydwin’s Service and her Thanksgiving Address

  THANK YOU NOTE FROM SR LYDWIN
​ As I come to the end of my mission here in the UK, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you — truly lovely people of deep faith. Your commitment, warmth, and generosity have deeply touched me. To the priests particularly Fr Mark, Fr Gerry, Deacon Mick, Deacon Jonathan, Fr Alex, Fr Sean, Fr Garry, Fr Brendan, our dear Sisters at the Carmelite Monastery, and the Brothers of St John of God and all who have journeyed with me: thank you for your dedication, your guidance, and your unwavering support. You have given profound meaning to my religious life and helped me live my commitment with renewed focus and purpose. Your encouragement enabled me to face challenges with courage, and your joyful celebrations lifted my spirit, strengthening my hope and joy to continue serving in the mission. My sincere thanks to Sr Sophia and Sr Ancita who have stepped forward to continue the mission in the parish. I wish them all the best and God’s blessings. May God bless you all abundantly. Though I may be leaving physically, I remain united with you in prayer and spirit as we continue our faith journey together. With gratitude and affection, Sr Lydwin
