The Catholic community from the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette in the parish of St. Luke’s Pointe Michel on Father’s Day showered gifts on their parish priest Fr. Peter Wamutitu.
Fr. Peter has been the parish priest of that community for the past seven years and recently the parish of St. Mark which is Soufriere/Scotts Head and Gillion was added to his list.
First, he was presented with a gift basket by a few members of the parish and then a newly formed men’s group dubbed “Brothers of La Salette” presented him with a plaque as the “father of the year.”
“Brother and sisters, this newly formed men’s group, Brother of La Salette will be awarding every year one man for his outstanding commitment and hard work within the church community of La Salette,” the group headed by head of the choir Kerry Lawrence stated.
According to the group, Fr. Peter has given “outstanding, selfless, relentless, dedicated service to our church community of La Salette.”
Carrol Activille a lay associate in the church also read a citation before presenting Fr. Peter with another plaque as father of the year. “He is dedicated, he selfless, and has led his parishioners as a true Shepard, for this we say thank you and may God continue to lead and guide him,” she said.
