Father Michael Bellizzi Garin Chaplain and Parish priest of the Our Lady of the Bays Parish 2023-24
As we bid farewell to Father Michael, we reflect on his unwavering faith, dedication, and kindness throughout this year. Serving as our College Chaplain and Parish Priest, Father has touched our lives deeply through Masses, Liturgies, Religious Education, and many college celebrations and service projects. His compassionate presence and selfless service have made him an integral part of our community. Although we are saddened by his departure, we take comfort in his own words: “Following Jesus requires trust and moving beyond the boundaries of what’s familiar.” Father’s example of trust in God’s plan has inspired us all. While we will miss him, we send him with our heartfelt prayers and gratitude, wishing him a safe return to the Diocese of Malta, his homeland. Godspeed, Father.
