EASTER MESSAGE
This weekend is a very important one in the Church’s calendar and as our international community grows we are also honouring their traditions. On Holy Saturday I had the Blessing of Food for our Polish Community and next Sunday (Divine Mercy Sunday) I will be blessing bread for our Ukrainian community during 11.30a.m. Mass.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in our Easter Ceremonies and helped in anyway to make them so meaningful for our Parish. May this Easter Season be filled with peace and happiness for each of you.
