FR DAVID WRITES
Congratulations to the children and their families who celebrated First Holy Communion with us this weekend. May God continue to bless them, and may he bring to perfection the good work he has begun in them. Many thanks to the choir and catechists for helping with our celebrations. The Easter Season continues for the next four weeks. A week on Thursday it will be Ascension, followed by Pentecost on Sunday 24 May. May God bless us all this week. 

FR DAVID WRITES
Last weekend, First Holy Communion Day here was a glorious celebration. Thank you once again to all those involved. This Thursday is Ascension Thursday—a day which marks the fortieth day since Easter Sunday and the celebration of the fullness of the Lord’s presence both in heaven and throughout all creation. Please be sure to join us at Mass on Thursday. As our Easter journey continues, may the Risen Lord bless us all with his gifts of peace, light, faith and hope. Have a wonderful week. 

ASCENSION THURSDAY
The Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord will be on Thursday 14 May, and is a Holy Day of Obligation. Masses will be at 8am, 10am (with the school), and 7pm. The car park will be open and available for all three Masses. 

FR TOM WRITES
On Good Shepherd Sunday, we hear Christ call each of us by name. All vocations, whether it be marriage, priesthood, or religious life, are a response to His voice, a unique path to love and holiness. The priesthood, in a special way, reflects Christ the Good Shepherd, who guides His people through Word and Sacrament. All vocations share the same beauty: a life given in love, for God and for others, but this weekend let us pray for our priests, and for all those Lord is calling to the priesthood.
