A parish get-together in St. John's Rest and Care Centre saw the community come together to celebrate the year's achievements in the parish and to make a special presentation to Fr. Gibbons on his milestone.

Over the past 21 years, he has contributed tremendously to the life and development of the shrine and parish.
