The Bishop's Easter message
The Easter Triduum
We will be posting a mass for Maundy Thursday on the morning of Maundy Thursday. This will then be followed by a reading of the Passion Gospel for Good Friday with prayers. For Easter Sunday, as well as the usual Sunday Parish Mass, there will also be an extra video of the lighting of the Easter Candle.
Palm Sunday
See our Palm Sunday photos
We asked people to either make palm crosses and palm branches at home, or find branches from their garden. These were waved during the service and put on people's doors to mark the feast. Some have sent us their pictures.
