Rev. Dr. K Davis Celebrates 40th Anniversary

On Sunday 6th August 2006 Rev. Dr. Kortright Davis celebrated his 40th Anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood with Holy Eucharist at St. Georges, Basseterre, followed by a luncheon in his honour at the Parish Hall for invited guests.
 
Dr. Davis selected St. Georges, St Kitts for this occasion because it was the first parish he serves as Curate. He holds very fond memories of his stewardship in this part of the vineyard and will not forget his past and from whence he came.
