Fr Wayne Dohey is the well loved parish priest of St Patrick's who, sadly for St Patrick's, is moving on to continue his good work in another parish. Fr Wayne, his enthusiasm, his kindness, his dedication and his brilliant smile will be sorely missed. Thank you Fr Wayne and may God bless you abundantly.

| The Incomparable Father Wayne Dohey |
Mary Lou Mallard Tucker has sent us this touching tribute to Fr Wayne.
"Father
Wayne Dohey
St
Patrick’s Parish
Can
anyone predict what is in God’s plan
When
we arrive to this uncertain world?
Unforeseen
circumstances do sometimes happen
Which
can put one’s life in a twirl.
Father,
all that you have been through,
You
have been through many tests.
God
definitely sees the whole picture
As
Satan hates Christian happiness.
God
presented us with a wonderful man of the cloth
Who
will always go that extra mile.
You
try to preach to Cod’s children everywhere
With
a compassionate heart, which is so your style.
Your
brilliant mind teaches all of us
We
should live out God’s holy word.
In
the future we will try to remember
Your
powerful words which we have heard.
You
are going where you are needed now
Your
full time work at St Patrick’s done.
It
is with deep sadness that is felt in all of our hearts
As
our parish priest, you are our special one.
We
will all miss you!
Mary
Lou Tucker and Family"
Mary Lou, thank you for sharing this lovely poem. Fr Wayne will indeed be missed.
I went thur a very traumatic experience with my fathers passing and my family was not really helping matters. Father Dohey stepped in and put his foot down and eased the situation on myself and my two daughters. I will never forget him for his kindness.
