Clergy Thoughts: “Dear Friends, WE are here, together, as we all celebrate Easter Sunday, the very day when Jesus, Our Lord, Rose from His three days Death on The Cross and His conquering of all the sins of Humanity that surrounded Him.   We celebrate His Resurrection every Easter but let us all never forget the Heavenly gift of Jesus and His earthly passion, every day of our lives."  With every Easter Blessing, Reverend David Croucher

Fr Alex, Fr Stephen, Deacons David and Kenneth wish you all a Happy Blessed Easter. Fr Alex thanks everyone involved in the journey of Lent and Easter to the flower arrangers, to all our musicians and singers, our altar servers, children lit, stewards, bidding prayers, welcomers, collectors, coffee makers, our sacristans, readers, finance & social committees, extraordinary ministers of communion and catechists. Thanks too to everyone involved behind the scenes - those who clean the sacred linen & the church building so faithfully and those who look after the parish newsletter and website. In short, thanks to everyone in the parish for all you do. Wishing you and your families every blessing this Easter. Fr Alex

EASTER COLLECTION. The collection at the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday and at Mass on Easter Sunday is the Easter Offering which forms part of the priest’s salary. However, kindly take the special gift aided envelopes available (show Easter/Christmas), for it if you're a taxpayer so that it can be gift aided. The tax rebate from HMRC goes to the Parish. If you donate by the Dona swiping machine, kindly gift aid it also. Thank you. 

Fasting Abstinence is dispensed during the Easter Octave
