Fr James marks his 25th priestly anniversary

Retired East Anglian priest Fr James Fyfe has celebrated the 25^th anniversary of his ordination with a Mass, a Papal Blessing and a cake, reports Stuart Grant.

Monday November 20, the Feast of St Edmund, saw a very special celebration take place in the Parish of Hunstanton.  At mid-day,  Mass was celebrated by Fr James Fyfe with the assistance of six fellow priests in honour of the 25^th  anniversary of his ordination. At the end of the Mass,  Fr James was presented with a special Papal Blessing by Fr Michael Stokes  to recognise his ministry.

Fr James had been Parish Priest at Hunstanton for many years and the local congregation were joined by a number of people from the Parishes of St Ives, OLEM in Cambridge and Wisbech where Fr James had also served before his retirement.

Following the special Mass, all present enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch at the church where Fr James ceremonially cut a special cake made by one of our parishioners to mark this day.
