Dear Brothers & Sisters Today is Divine Mercy Sunday, and we celebrate the devotion and the insights into the mercy of Jesus made popular by two Polish saints of modern times: Sister Faustina Kowalska and Pope John Paul II. Today at 2.30 - 3.30pm in the Church we will have before the Blessed Sacrament “The Divine Mercy Chaplet”. ************ St. George Patron Saint of England (Monday) because of Easter is celebrated on Monday. He is popular not only in England but also in India, where he is invoked for defence against snakes. In fact he is a patron of Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Aragon, Catalonia, Palestine, Portugal, Germany and Moscow too! St Catherine of Siena (Tuesday) was a responsible instrument for the return of Pope Gregory XI from Avignon to Rome. In deed and in truth, she showed her love for God’s Church and the Roman Pontiff. With her short life she gave us a lesson in courage, the courage of telling the truth for love of the Church and souls. In 1970 Pope Saint Paul VI proclaimed her Doctor of the Church. Our Sacred Heart Community thanks you for your generosity for the Easter collection My special thanks to all who made Easter Triduum such a great celebration, Flower Ladies, Church Cleaners, Altar Servers, PFC and PPC, Welcomers, Parish Readers, Eucharistic Ministers and Sacristans. We were blessed at the Easter Vigil by the nine people who were received into the Catholic Church & confirmed at the vigil. May God bless the catechists & sponsors & all who helped in their journey in faith. A Big Thank You to all who came and helped in the preparation for the Vigil Mass on Thursday evening for Pope Francis Please pray for the two couples who were married here over the last few days. Grace Cheatle and Howard Grater, Keleigh Anne and Kieren Thomas Appeal for Youth Leaders to Lourdes as helpers: Ben and Dan McHale will be here on Sunday 4th May to make an appeal.
