"Busted"
Father John Uttley was appropriately feted at the unveiling
of a life sized bust, which held an astonishing likeness, created by friend and
sculptor, Father Peter Joyce, who described his work as a "biography in bronze,
which can be read and studied”.
This celebration of Fr. John’s 30 year devotion to the music
ministry took place in St Thomas Parish Centre recently and was attended by
representatives of many of the organizations from throughout greater Belleville,
that have been blessed by Fr. John’s talent and passion for music.
Project co-ordinator Diana Ward made it her business to successfully
bring together the collective appreciation of numerous contributors and
volunteers to make this event not only possible but highly successful in honouring
a well loved member of our parish family.
