Message from Canon Evans:
My dear Parishioners,
I should like to thank Alison Offer for her help in the preparation of the Monthly Newsletter in recent times. Now that there is a computer in the presbytery she has suggested that the Newsletter should be produced entirely from there. I have agreed to her suggestion, so, in future, please send any items for the Newsletter to the presbytery.
Easter is still a little way away, but will soon be here. Please begin to think about how we shall be celebrating Holy Week and Easter Sunday in out parish. Each day of the Triduum allows us to take part in the mystery of Our Lord’s death and resurrection. The times of Holy Week liturgies are on this Newsletter, please make a note of them and try to join in as many as you can – all of them, if at all possible. I am grateful to the musicians who have already made a start at their preparations. Servers and readers will also be needed for these days and arrangements for them will be made soon.
With best wishes
Canon David Evans
