Jesus is Risen! Alleluia! Allelluia!

Happy Easter from Fr Michael and the Parish team.

"Jesus is alive! Today, too, he walks in our midst, changes us and set us free. Thanks to him, evil has been robbed of its power: failure can no longer hold us back from starting anew; and death has become a passage to the stirrings of new life." 
Pope Francis (on Twitter)
