THANKS TO VOLUNTEERS Sincere thanks to all volunteers who helped out during the Holy Week and Easter Ceremonies. TROCAIRE This week we have the opportunity to bring our Trócaire boxes back to the Sacristy or the Parochial House. This is our opportunity to take the Easter message of joy and hope and spread it to all the parts of the world. By doing this we are showing solidarity with our neighbours all across the globe and spreading the real message of Christ, which will result in resurrection for these communities at this Easter time. DIVINE MERCY CELEBRATION, Sun 23, 3pm, Church of the Assumption.

Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch: Sometimes they hold you up; Jesus is Risen!
Why do I believe in the risen Lord? Not because I have seen Him, but because others have told me of him. My parents, teachers, friends, as well as preachers, speakers and writers. Because of them I believe. How important it is to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus! We talk about church conflicts and problems but a simple direct announcement of the resurrection of Jesus is seldom heard, except on pulpits and other such "safe" places. But just as our love for others grows cold when we no longer declare this love to them, so our faith in Jesus gradually fades if we keep silent about Him. We have to keep saying to each other, "the Lord is risen, risen indeed." It is not enough to say that once or twice. We need to say it to each other constantly so that our faith in the risen Christ can be kept alive and that we can live that faith always more deeply.
