Divine Mercy Sunday 2nd Sunday of Easter–Year C – 11th April 2010
Divine Mercy Sunday
Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. A Feast Day bequeathed to the Church by Pope John Paul II, and requested by Our Lord through a Polish Nun, Sr Faustina. Pope John Paul write:- “It was as if Christ wanted to reveal (through St Faustina) that the limit imposed on evil, of which man is both perpetrator and victim, is ultimately Divine Mercy. Christ crucified and risen is the supreme revelation of this truth. The Paschal Mystery confirms that good is ultimately victorious; that life conquers death and the love triumphs over hate.” There is a programme of prayer and adoration at 3:00pm this afternoon.
Forthcoming Events
Parish Pilgrimage to Lourdes
We are planning to join the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes 25th – 31st July, with Archbishop Vincent Nichols. If you are in any way interested then do come to a meeting next Saturday (17th April) at 11:00 am, here in the Annexe, at which the diocesan organiser (Gerald Daly) will talk to us and answer any questions that you may have. At this stage there is no commitment – just come and see.
Parish Concert: - Friday 30th April 7:30 pm – here in the Church
For the sixth year running Patricia Rozario OBE will, once again, head up a list of performers which will include other professional musicians, and our the Junior School choir and St Joseph’s Pastoral choir. The theme this year will be “Cloths of heaven’ from WB Yates poem.
Tickets are £7 in advance, £10 on the night, including a glass of wine with proceeds going towards the restoration of our ailing organ.
The Pioneer Annual Dance – Friday 7th May, 8pm to 11.30pm.
This is to help raise funds for St Mary Magdalen Special Needs Group. Tickets £ 5.00 will be on sale after all Masses this weekend and next.
This parish has a great reputation for supporting our functions. Even though we have two functions so close together, we hope that you can support both.
