Happy Easter, Everyone! 

May heaven be praised, may God be adored.

Everything is changed for I have seen the Lord!

What a joy it is, to celebrate Easter in Church with only a few restrictions this year. We have been able to journey with the Lord on a Way that led him through suffering and death to joy and new life, but which also describes our path and our calling through difficulties, through suffering and yes, through death to joys and to new life.

 

Let me thank everyone involved: The stewards, the readers, the cleaners, the altar servers, the sacristans, those who have led the Stations of the Cross and the catechists who led them for the children, those in the music ministry, the person who produced our Easter Garden, and of course those responsible for the wonderful floral display.

I also offer my personal thanks for your Easter offering, your gift to me.

God Bless,             Fr Doug

ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1982 VISIT OF POPE St John Paul II To St George’s Cathedral 

There will be Mass with Anointing of the Sick on 28 May 2022 at 12.30 PM

Archbishop John Wilson will celebrate Mass to mark the fortieth anniversary of the visit of St John Paul II to our Cathedral. During this celebration, the sacrament of anointing of the sick will be administered, as it was on the occasion of St John Paul II’s visit. Parishes are invited to select two people (per parish) who might attend this celebration at the Cathedral as representatives of their parish and receive the sacrament of anointing. Please contact Fr Doug by Sunday May 1^st if you would like to attend. If there are more than 2 wishing to go, we will have a “random selection procedure” – a lucky dip!
