EASTER SUNDAY NEWSLETTER

Dear Friends,

Please find attached the newsletter for Easter Sunday 2016

The celebrations of Holy Week and Easter, retracing the mysteries by which Our Lord redeemed us, were particularly beautiful this year. Many thanks to you all: for cleaning and preparing the church, for arranging flowers; to the dedicated singers and organists; to our team of altar servers; to everyone who invited friends to the holy ceremonies.

The Roman Ritual contains a special blessing for houses during the Easter season: please contact the Shrine if you would like for a priest to come bless your house.

With best wishes to you and your families in this holy season,

sincerely,

Canon Altiere.
