With respect and affection

As we have celebrated the Golden Jubilee of our Church one name has cropped up many times. We have repeatedly thought of the faithfulness and hard work of Father (later Canon) Patrick Balfe, who was the driving force behind the building of St Wilfrid's. Some of our parishioners thought it would be appropriate to put flowers on his grave at St Winefride's, Shepshed at this special time.
May this faithful servant of the Lord rest in peace. Amen.
