2012 Apology

The parish priest Father Michael Sheehan welcomed the apology and "the sincere Christian spirit behind it".

Famous quotes containing the word apology:
“Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
