Happy Easter
From the Parish Assembly and the Priests of the Parish – A Happy Easter.
Our prayer for you is that the Joy and Peace of the Risen Christ be with you this Easter.
Our sincere thanks to all who participated and helped with the Holy Week Ceremonies, Frank and Eddie who put in place the lovely Easter Garden. The Parish Choir, Ministers of the Word & Eucharist, Sacristan Jack, Collectors, Altar Servers and those who care for the Church and decorate the Altars.
Our congratulations to Kayla Rosarie ORiordan and Alejandro Owen Rea who are being baptised at the Easter Vigil, to their Families and to our Baptismal Team.
The Resurrection gives my life meaning and direction
The Resurrection is the hinge stone on which everything else rests. Without Easter and the Resurrection our lives are simply in a meaningless spin. At the heart of our Easter message is new life, energy, celebration and new beginnings. Yesterday Good Friday could best be described as a dark bleak day touching in on all our sadness and struggles. Out of the middle of the mess of Good Friday comes a day joy, when God does indeed have the last word. That last word has shattered the darkness and despair of Good Friday. The waiting is over…..He is risen… Happy Easter
