Fr. Perera’s Bishop, His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ramjith, Archbishop of Columbo, has appointed Fr. Perera as Dean and Chairperson of St. Thomas Aquinas College in Columbo effective immediately. Fr. Perera is arranging for travel to his native country Sri Lanka and will be leaving St. Boniface Martyr Church in mid-October. A special Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated on Sunday, October 4 to thank Fr. Perera for his service to St. Boniface, wish him well in his new position, and for safe travels back to Sri Lanka. We wish Fr. Perera farewell and congratulations! May God continue to bless your Ministry and Priesthood!
Sunday Masses for August 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th will be live streamed on Facebook at 12 noon, since First Communion will take place at those Masses. Since the number of people who may attend in person is limited due to the Covid-19 crisis, live-streaming will allow people who can’t be admitted to still be part of the celebration, at least virtually.
