Reverend Christopher Lee, 57, said in the weekly parish bulletin on Nov 17 that he was thankful for the bravery and swift action of those who intervened, preventing further harm.
He also said he was deeply grateful for the parishioners' overwhelming prayers and support during this challenging time.
"Your love and well-wishes have profoundly touched my heart and significantly aided my recovery," he added.
The incident happened during the church's monthly children mass, and Father Lee also extended his thoughts and prayers to the children who were there.
"I hope you are all healing and recovering from the incident," he said.
