Reflection by Christel Casse (Lay Pastoral Assistant) The Gate That Leads to Life Fourth Sunday of Easter  

In a world full of voices competing for our attention, Jesus reminds us that not every voice is trustworthy. He calls himself the gate, not a barrier, but an opening to something better. The sheep follow the shepherd because they know his voice, and that knowing comes from staying close to him in prayer and in Scripture.

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Saturdays from 11.30am to 12 Noon.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is available after weekday Mass.

Doubting Thomas: A Reflection for the Second Sunday of Easter By Christel Casse (Lay Pastoral Assistant) This Easter season we are all invited to bring our locked doors, our doubts, our unanswered questions and allow the Risen Christ to stand among them and speak his peace into them. Doubt does not close us off from God, it can be the very doorway through which faith grows deeper.

“How happy are those who believe without seeing the Lord.”

Reflection by Christel Casse (Lay Pastoral Assistant) He is Risen!

Easter Sunday is the heart of our faith. On this most joyful of days, we celebrate the greatest truth the world has ever known; that Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for love of us, has conquered death and risen to new life. The empty tomb changes everything. It tells us that sin and death do not have the final word. Love does. Hope does. God does. As we gather to celebrate, may the joy of the Risen Christ fill your heart and your home. May this Easter renew your faith, rekindle your hope, and remind you that you are deeply and eternally loved. He is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Saturdays from 11.30am to 12 Noon.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is available after weekday Mass.
