Last week’s celebration of the Paschal Triduum, which led us into the Easter season, brought us to the heart of our faith: that Jesus took our sins upon himself, endured suffering and death, and was laid in the tomb, yet rose in glory on the third day. We have celebrated this mystery not simply in remembrance, but so it may transform our lives, strengthens us and make us his witnesses. As we continue through Easter, may this mystery take deeper root in our hearts, shaping how we live and love, so that through us others may know the joy and peace of God’s love.
OCTAVE OF EASTER: HE IS RISEN ALLELUIA!
Today we celebrate the Octave Day of Easter - the eighth day of Easter joy, when Thomas meets the Risen One. It is a full recurrence of the Easter solemnity in every sense. Known also as Dominica in Albis or Quasimodo Sunday, this is a rich day in the liturgy full of meaning, splendour, and most of all, the fullness of Easter gladness.

Today is the Third Sunday of Easter when we hear the beautiful Gospel account of the two disciples who meet the Risen Lord on the way to Emmaus. He comes to meet us too, as he opens our hearts and reveals his presence in the Breaking of Bread. Let us continue to live these joyful days of Easter with faith and devotion. Please pray for the children and young people in our parish at this sacramental time.

HE IS RISEN - ALLELUIA!
Today is Easter Sunday, when we celebrate the great truth that Christ, who died on the cross, is truly risen from the dead. May God bless us in these days of Easter joy.
FR DAVID WRITES
Happy Easter to you all! I pray that you may enjoy a beautiful Easter Sunday today, as well as the days of the Easter Octave ahead of us. Thank you from Fr Tom and me for the kind cards, good wishes and Easter gifts we have received. On behalf of the whole parish, we would like to thank everyone who helped to prepare and celebrate the days of this Holy Week Easter, especially in terms of preparing the church and celebrating the liturgy. Can I also take this opportunity to thank and greet the whole parish on this holy day. I thank you for your presence, prayers, generosity and ministries throughout the year. Together, we bring ourselves and our many gifts to help build of community of faith and love. May God bless you all. This week I will make a visit to Rome until Thursday evening, and I look forward to seeing you again next weekend. As I go, please pray for the repose of the soul of the late Holy Father, Pope Francis, who died last year on Easter Monday, which was 21 April in the Holy Year. May he rest in peace.
