After over seven years of dedicated service in Bolton and close association with Thornleigh Salesian College, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Fr Chris Gorton as he moves on to a new parish.

Fr Chris has been a constant and reassuring presence in the life of our college community. His support, guidance and pastoral care have touched the lives of countless students and staff. Through his ministry, he has helped to nurture and strengthen the faith of our young people, always with kindness, wisdom and generosity.

We will miss him immensely, but we are grateful for all he has shared with us. Thank you, Fr Chris, for your service, your friendship, and your unwavering availability.

We send you off with our prayers and warmest good wishes as you begin this new chapter in your ministry. May God continue to bless you abundantly in your new parish.

Go with our love and prayers, Fr Chris.
