The parish priest of a Penzance has celebrated 25 years of dedicated service. 

Canon Philip Dyson, the parish priest of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady Catholic Church in Penzance marked his silver jubilee of Ordination.   

Penzance parishioners, joined by those in Hayle and St Ives, packed the church for a Sunday Mass and afterwards enjoyed a buffet lunch. 

The attendees enjoyed the variety of food provided by the parishioners. 

Canon Philip did not want a personal gift so parishioners were instead invited to donate towards the Saint John Henry Newman stained glass window for the Penzance parish church.
