Pope Francis

We pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis who has sadly died. Eternal rest grant unto him O LORD and let perpetual light shine on him. May he rest in peace, Amen. 🙏

At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:

"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

Parish Easter Scavenger Hunt

To Celebrate Easter our Children's Liturgists organised cakes, activities, games and a scavenger hunt with prizzes for our children and families. It was a wonderful parish occasion. 

We also had contributions from local charities and organisations in the form of banners and art work from Cheesey Waffles, RT Projects, Laurel Avenue Community Centre and our parish children joining us in our celebration of Easter.
