Father Duncan writes ...
The season of Lent takes up the whole of this month and leads us through to the most solemn and important of all the Church’s liturgical celebrations. Day by day in Holy Week we are led through the last events of our Lord’s earthly life from Palm Sunday’s triumph to Good Friday’s crucifixion and then on to Easter and the Resurrection...
Try to draw near with us in the solemn liturgy of the Church and walk with Christ from Palm Sunday’s excitement through betrayal and torture to crucifixion. Stay with us and enter in joy into the darkened church with the Paschal Candle leading the way as “The Light of Christ”...
the symbol of the light, life and love of God which raised Jesus and gives us light and life to live during our earthly pilgrimage and a vision and hope for glory hereafter.
