Canon T.P.S. Wood

With great sadness we mourn the death of Canon Wood peacefully on 20th May.  He had come to Calry Parish and the school 39 years ago.  The Canon was deeply loved and respected by many for his faith, compassion, intellect and, of course, his inimitable humour.  As a community we extend our sympathy to his family.  "Ni bheidh a leitheid aris ann".
