‘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.’
