Easter Message from Fr Greg.

11th Apr 2020

During this time of lent and Easter we think of Jesus. We remember the importance of the cross and how we bless ourselves.

  • when we touch our heads to think of God the Father we are touching the highest part of our bodies, the nearest to heaven
  • when we touch our chest and think of God the Son we keep Jesus and his message in our hearts
  • when we touch both our shoulders and think of God the Holy Spirit, it is like wrapping ourselves with the Holy Spirit

  As school has been closed for a few weeks, I’m thinking of all those P4 & P7 children who were due to make their sacraments. Boys and girls we can all look forward to receiving the sacraments and having a special Holy day. I’d like to say a special Hello to all the children throughout the school. I miss my weekly visits to all the classes. In the meantime remember to keep praying the way we prayed in class with your teacher and me. Don’t forget to pray for me. Priests need prayers as well.  There are lots of ways you can watch mass on television or on the internet. The parish has a webcam perhaps in the near future we can have some readers from the schools reading the prayers of the faithful at mass. Happy Easter to all the children and their parents.
