Holy Week

HOLY WEEK lies at the heart of the Church’s year. We are invited to remember the saving events of the last days of Jesus’ life, his entry into Jerusalem and Last Supper there, his death at Calvary and triumphant raising at the nearby Holy Sepulchre.

With Christians across the world, let us join together in these wonderful moments which speak of who Jesus was, what he did for us and who we are now – or who we want to be. Talking of which, the parish and diocesan SYNOD REPORTS have been drawn up and are available on our parish website.

The diocesan one has been compiled from over forty parish ones from across our diocese. Our parish Synod team are preparing points from our own two reports for a way ahead. We pray that the Holy Spirit guide us all, as always, into the future.
