RUBY ANNIVERSARY OF FATHERS SEAN AND AIDAN
On 7th April 2002 Fr Sean Murray SDB and Fr Aidan Murray SDB celebrated the 40th anniversary of their ordinations to the
priesthood. The Abbot of Prinknash concelebrated at the Mass.
Below is a copy of a framed prose, written by Hilary Jayne, a good
friend of Father Sean and Blaisdon. Forty years of kindness, his wise or witty word In Farnborough or Chertsey And Blaisdon in between Remember summers camping at the Hall - Sean's host and shopping skills? His rugby undeterred By Sale or Bath or Harlequins Since 1962 Kingsholm knows Sean's deafening bawl And surely you've heard Mitchelstown to Sloop, his shout Or maybe at Blaisdon in between But should he sing you hear an angel call Sweet as Ballyragger's blackbird Until the Emerald Isle sent Sean to us Just before 1962 He sheds his light upon our way so we walk tall By love and laughter stirred To follow upwards on our path. (Meanwhile he's off - Rome, Turin, Jerusalem and Ireland in between) More than a model Salesian. Sean's friend and priest to all - Lost or lonely, happy or sad, confident or unheard For 40 years since 1962 In Farnborough, Battersea, Bollington too In Blaisdon and a thousand hearts between.
