Rev Abrahams bids Malmesbury fair farewell

The 10th of April 2021 marked the Revd Canon Craig Abrahams’ 8th year and 1 month anniversary at the parish of St Thomas the Apostle in Malmesbury.
To date, this is the longest period of time that he shared his ministry with a parish. It was therefore laden with a bittersweet undertone, as he officiated and shared his ministry with this parish for the last time on Sunday, the 18th of April 2021.
The Parish of St Thomas the Apostle, Malmesbury wishes to thank him for serving their parish and sharing his spiritual gifts with them.
For unselfishly sacrificing his time to spiritually uplift and guide young and old.
As Father Craig is starting a new chapter in his life, the parish is praying for God’s hand over his spiritual and emotional well-being. Hoping that ‘the road will always rise to meet him’ as in accordance with the well known Irish blessing.
