Happy Easter everyone from Fr Gerry, Fr Graham and Fr Matthew. Thank you for your very encouraging support and attendance during the year and particularly Holy Week. Hopefully it will not be too long before we are free from the restrictions and we can get back to a more normal parish pattern of life.
Special thanks to those who have faithfully stewarded, sanitised and stewarded our gatherings. Thanks to those who have helped to get live streaming working in both Churches.
The Lord is truly Risen. Alleluia!
