Histories are crucial to society and to one's own well-being. This history of the Parish of St Patrick's, Gordon is no exception. What is remarkable about this newly published history is the circumstances of its production. In the words of the author Joe Donegan: "In 2008 all three doctors who were caring for me with cancer told me that I only had three months to live and that nothing more could be done. All three said I was 'In God's Hands'. I was quite prepared to accept this, but Christmas came, then another and another. In 2010, the doctors did not know how I recovered, neither do I know of anything I did. I was blessed with the water from Lourdes and at times Mary MacKillop's relics. Lots of people prayed to God for me. This help and the fact that I did not abandon the spiritual values that I have had all my lifetime kept me 'In God's Hands'. During this time, I have been fortunate enough to write this concise history of St Patrick's Church, beginning in 1875 with the devoted Irish farming families leading up to the challenges of today. This parish too, has been 'In God's Hands'."
