Regina caeli

V. Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia.
R. Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia.
V. Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia.
R. Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. R. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.

V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia. R. Pray for us to God, alleluia.

I’m grateful for all our parishioners do to make our parish so welcoming.

 

Thank you for your Easter Offering, and for your cards and gifts.  It’s very much appreciated.

Divine Mercy Sunday 12 April 3pm.

We have a full hour of devotion for Divine Mercy Sunday starting at 3pm with the veneration of the image followed by Adoration and Rosary and an opportunity for Confession. We finish with Benediction at 4pm followed by refreshments.  This is a great way of showing our love for Jesus during this special season of Eastertide.
