SCRIPT FOR DESPEDIDA PARTY AND PRIEST DAY 2019

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you, Until we meet again!

This is not a goodbye my darling, this is a thank you –Nicholas Sparks (Message in a Bottle)

There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart. – Mahatma Gandhi

The two hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last. – Moira Rogers

The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ- St. John Vianney,
