Welcome – We welcome James Ranger who was baptised at the Easter Vigil, Peter Cleak and Jason Craig who
were received into the Catholic Church and Anthony Dunn who, with the others, was confirmed on Saturday
night. Please keep all four in your prayers. Thank you to our RCIA Catechists who have worked for many
months with our candidates and to their sponsors for their support.
Thank you - We send our thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate Our Lord’s journey from His entry to
Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to his resurrection on Easter Day for all the work that was done, much of it behind
the scenes, to take us through the changing moods of the different events of the week. There are many of you
and you know who you are. We would however like to thank particularly 3 groups of our young people; the
children who really brought to life on Good Friday morning the characters Jesus met on His journey to the
Cross; the First Holy Communion children whose prayers and decorations make the petals of the daffodils on
the pillars at the back of church – stop and have a read – and finally the group of young altar servers who
added to the dignified celebration of the services this Easter. You are all a great credit to your families and to
the parish. Thank you! Fr Sean adds his thanks for your cards, generous Easter Offerings as well as your
donations on Good Friday for the collection for the Holy Places.
