We have moved from the season of Lent and the period of Passiontide and embarking on a new journey, a paschal journey with the early church, and an opportunity to re-discover the meaning of Community. Each year we seem to reach this point either exhausted by the intensity of the past seven weeks or exhilarated, ready for a joyous journey through the Easter season reinvigorated by our shared experiences. The early church could have hidden from view after the traumatic events of the last week but, filled with the spirit of God, they began to build, and so must we. We are faced with many problems but we should follow the example of the early church and aim to build not decline.

Today is the Fifth Sunday of Lent. This marks the beginning of Passiontide in the heart of the Lenten season. Next weekend will see the start of Holy Week as we will gather for Palm Sunday. Please make sure you take a leaflet home with the times of celebrations here for Holy Week and Easter. We do hope that as many people as possible will be able to join us in the celebration of the great festivities to come. These days mark the heart of our faith and the mysteries of Christ our Saviour. Have a blessed week ahead.

Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, also known as ‘Laetare’ Sunday from the first words of the entrance antiphon in Latin; a day of rejoicing in the heart of this holy season of Lent. Today is also Mothering Sunday. We send our love, prayers and thanks to all mothers in the parish and community, and pray for our mothers who have gone to God. We hope you all have a lovely day! Our journey through Lent is going fast! Today you will find sheets in the church porch with the details about celebrations here in Holy Week. Please take one. Finally, it was lovely to see many people at Mass on St Patrick’s Day. We hope you had a good day. God bless you all.
