It was with heavy hearts today that we listened to Fr Martin announce he would be moving parish to take up a new post in Troon.
Fr Martin has supported our children on their faith journey in a unique and caring way. We will be sad to see him leave on the 30th June, however, we wish him well in his new role.
Fr Martin has been central to our Mount Carmel Family and will continue to always have a special place in our hearts.
