CITATION FOR FATHER BERNARD


Young pojoba, called of God
To be a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek
Trained and ordained and posted to Good Shepherd Parish
Served dutifully and cheerfully under various parish priests
Always, with a shout of “God is good all the time!”

Older now, wiser too, with sprinklings of gray hair
Posted now as parish priest by the Archbishop
Reminding all that recognition and elevation follow those
Who serve dutifully and cheerfully
Always, with a shout of “God is good all the time!”

Fr.  Bernard Kwasi Kyei, lectors of Good Shepherd Parish bid you adieu
Many a sermon of yours strengthened our spirits and
You oft quieted our restless souls in the confessional
Many of us looked up to you as role model, father and mentor
We will never forget you but serve dutifully and cheerfully as you did
Always, with a shout of “God is good all the time!”
