Father Anton's Weekly Column
THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We now come to the end of the church’s year with the Wonderful Solemn Feast of Christ the Universal King. It is also Youth Sunday, and we welcome our younger members as they assist in the Liturgy of Sunday 10 a.m. Mass. Thank you to them all in advance. It is a good time to say “thank you” to all those who have supported them in their endeavours, walks, retreats, gatherings and of course the very important times of worship.
