HOLY WEEK BEGINS
uring the coming days we will celebrate the high point of our Christian
Faith as we recall the events around the Passion, Death and Resurrection of
Jesus Christ. This story, very familiar to us, is at the heart of our Faith.
There will be many opportunities between the four churches of our parish for all to
participate in the Holy Week Ceremonies and we encourage as many as possible to
come along, recall these Sacred Events and allow again the call from the Upper Room
to be heard — ”DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME”.
The CHRISM MASS in the Cathedral on Holy Thursday at 11am is a special
moment in our diocese and all, especially our Confirmation Candidates and families, as
well as those involved in caring for the sick are welcome.
