Pentecost, which we celebrate on Sunday, marks the conclusion of Easter and the birth of the Church. It commemorates the day when the Holy Spirit descended upon the followers of Christ, when “tongues as of fire” came to rest on each of them. The Apostles then began speaking various languages, proclaiming the Gospel to Jews who gathered in Jerusalem for the feast. The Apostles began their public ministry following this event, with 3,000 people baptised that very day. It is on

The Easter Triduum is the period of times that traces the final days of the life of Jesus Christ – His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. It begins on Holy Thursday evening with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, where the Church re-lives the institution of the Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the Last Supper, as well as the institution of the priesthood, which took place the evening before Jesus was crucified. On Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion, the Church

As a reminder to our community, the time of Lent begins next Wednesday. Being mindful of this, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are traditionally days of fasting and abstinence. Lent is a penitential season of prayer, self-denial and helping others. In this way, the whole Church prepares for Easter with those who are to be baptised. Our celebrations during Lent must take into account the spirit of penance; our musicians will be using their instruments only to sustain singing, a
