A warm welcome to all family and friends visiting our community for the Easter holidays. Wishing you all a very Happy and Holy Easter. You are all welcome here! Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning after some time away, we are glad you are here. Your presence is a reminder that the Church is always a place of invitation, encounter, and belonging. We hope you feel at home among us. You will see from this Newsletter there are lots of groups in our Parish and ways to get involved and we pray you find a place of belonging here.

As we reflect this week on the Resurrection, we are drawn again to the heart of our faith: that life triumphs over death, light over darkness, and hope over despair. The Resurrection is not only an event we remember, but a living reality that continues to shape our lives. It speaks to us in our own moments of uncertainty and struggle, reminding us that no situation is beyond God’s power to renew.

The risen Christ meets us where we are - often quietly, gently - and invites us to see with new eyes. Just as the disciples moved from fear to faith, we too are called to trust that even in the most ordinary or difficult circumstances, new life is possible.

May this week be an opportunity to notice signs of resurrection around you: in acts of kindness, in reconciliation, in small beginnings, and in renewed hope. And may we each carry that hope to others, becoming witnesses of the joy and promise of the risen Lord.

Our Church celebrations these last few days would not be possible without the commitment and hard work of a lot of people. A big thank you to all who have prepared and given so much for our Triduum celebrations.



I hope and pray that our Lent and Holy Week services have brought you blessings in some way and may God bless you all in the days ahead.

Cn. John
