As I sat in church over the Easter Triduum, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy. A year ago, we could not gather as a faith community to celebrate Holy Week and Easter. For much of the past twelve months, we have not been able to sing in church, and have had to ‘book’ a space to attend weekend Masses. Albeit wearing masks, our churches were full during Holy Week and here at St Pius X, Dernancourt, we were able to sing. To say it was a moving experience is an understatement.

I trust that you and your families had a wonderful, joy filled Easter. The resurrection of Jesus fills us with hope. May the coming holidays bring you an opportunity to rest and refresh after a busy first term.

Blessings,

James
