Many thanks indeed to all who have made such great efforts to attend the Lenten, Holy Week and Easter Masses and services. Your efforts are much appreciated especially in spite of the inclement weather.
My grateful thanks go to all who have been involved in any way in helping us along the Lenten Journey and now to the celebration of the Resurrection. Many people have given of their time and talents to help in all sorts of ways. Their help is very much appreciated since, without their efforts, our liturgies would be the poorer. The Servers, Musicians, Readers, Eucharistic Ministers and Passkeepers have all played their part. Behind the scenes are the church cleaners, the flower arrangers, typist, sacristans, and those who look after us in the Hall after the Easter Masses. All this work is done in addition to home and family responsibilities. A very big thank you is due to every one of them for their efforts. Thank you also for the Easter cards and gifts. They are much appreciated.
With every best wish and Easter blessing to you,
your families
and all those who are dear to you
Monsignor Tony.
