Blackfen Parishioners were determined to give a meaningful Leaving Present to their Parish Priest of long-standing, Fr. Finigan, upon his impending departure to pastures new on the North Kent Coast (Margate-on-Sea).
After much Soul-Searching (!), the ideal present was obtained.
A Parish Meeting was held (? Conclave ?) in the Social Club and,
after much speech-making, merry-making, and toasting,
the Leaving Present was unwrapped by Fr. Finigan.
He was delighted (see photo, above) to have been given an
Easy Guide To Building Your Own Minor Basilica.
