I mentioned a few weeks ago that we will have a Day of Adoration on Saturday April 17th, which is next Saturday. There will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from after the morning Mass at 10.a.m until Benediction at 4.50 p.m. immediately before the Vigil Mass at 5.15 p.m. This is an opportunity to celebrate this “Year of the Priest”, and to pray for priests and for vocations to the priesthood. In view of all the sad stories in the media in the past few weeks it seems more than ever appropriate to come and pray for priests, and for those now preparing for ordination. These are not easy times for any of us, priests or laity. Prayer is more than ever necessary as we seek to be faithful to Christ in our lives.
I am hoping that the different groups in the Parish will take part in this day of prayer, and that as many of you as possible will make the effort to come and spend some time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament during the day.
May I add a sincere thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this Holy Week and Easter such a special time. Thank you also for your generosity in the collection last weekend.
