Monsignor Pat Ward was the parish priest in Matamata when I was growing up. He was a great friend of my parents ( Golfing and my father trained race horses )
Farther Pat Ward was the Celebrant at my wedding and my sisters wedding. He was also the Celebrant at my Dads Funeral ( Who wasn't a catholic) and more recently we tracked him down for my Mums Funeral in Matamata.
Id like to pass on my condolences to his family. We as a Family has a lot of happy memories of farther Pat Ward when he was a parish priest in Matamata.
