On learning of his appointment Mgr. MacDaid said,
‘I am deeply humbled and honoured to be chosen for this difficult ministry
to our people. It is however encouraging to know that where God’s grace is
allowed to work, all things are possible and the weak find strength. I am
confident that in the ministry of our priests and in the witness of our faithful
people, God’s word can be spoken, heard and lived. We owe this
responsibility to our children and our young people. They need the guidance
of God’s Word and the nourishment of the Eucharist.
God’s Spirit will lead us there.’
