The New Life of Easter, Christ is Risen from the Dead.
Provides new energy to continue our journey,
to help us to bear our witness to the power of Christ living in us.
Through our participation in the Liturgy of Lent we have shared in the life of Christ. At Christmas we rejoiced a Saviour is Born, but now He has come to redeem us from a Kingdom of darkness. Yes, evil is a reality and it was to confront this that Jesus went out into the wilderness to fast and to pray.
Now in faithfulness to the Father, he entered the Temple, humbly riding on a donkey. The forces of darkness have had their hour. Now we with the whole church rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus. We bring this news, because we are blessed, guided and directed through the Liturgy of the Mass to share this with everybody.
Yes, Christ now risen from the dead our faith will never be in vain.
Wishing you all a joyful Easter.
Womble Day at St Wilfrid’s Postponed

Assisted suicide bill
Assisted suicide Bill even worse than before – postcards available: Committee Stage of the assisted suicide Bill has ended. It is now weaker and less safe than it was before. 300+ amendments that sought to strengthen safeguards in the Bill and protect vulnerable groups were rejected by Bill supporters, including protection for people with disabilities and domestic abuse victims. Please take action now – collect a red and white postcard, fill out your details and post it to your MP today!
