EASTER SEASON… As you
already know we are now celebrating the Easter Season up until Pentecost. I strongly
encourage as many of our people as possible to join us for daily Mass. As you know
Alleluia means may God be praised and one of the very beautiful ways to do that is by
sharing the beautiful Scripture Readings during this season and dining with the Lord at
His table.
BAPTISM AND
There are two big events coming up for our
Church Family when we will
CONFIRMATION be
celebrating First Holy Communion for our little ones and the Sacrament
of Confirmation for our young people who will be making a personal commitment
to be faithful to the Lord, details in next weeks bulletin.
