Congratulations of winning the Gold Award in the recent Master Builder Awards.

I had the privilege of opening the Church soon after arriving in the Diocese. It does not surprise me to see your team being celebrated for the excellence of your project. As a priest who has served in Churches all over the world, most notably in Rome, I have formed a somewhat critical eye for form and beauty in Churches.

In saying this, from the time I first saw Pleasant Point, I was captivated by the simplicity and elegance of the church. I have since returned to celebrate a Mass for all the teachers of the region, where I was further able to enjoy the excellent acoustic quality of the building. Not only is it beautiful it is functional as well.
