Father Anton's Weekly Column

Sixth Sunday of Easter - Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

A special welcome to all year three children, parents and children of our parish who are preparing for that wonderful moment when they first receive Holy Communion. Holy Communion is a public declaration of our faith as Catholics and a personal encounter with Jesus, the Son of God. It is a constant reminder that Christ gave his life for love of us. Let us all treasure the gift of Jesus in our lives. May we value the Eucharist as a treasure in the wheat field, something we give all for.
