Father Anton's Weekly Column

Fourth Sunday of Lent Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are halfway through Lent and celebrate Rose Sunday, sometimes called Laudate Sunday, the Sunday of Praise signifying that we are at the turning point of Lent. We are on the rise towards the celebration of the Resurrection, the greatest Feast of the Church calendar. How are the resolutions going? Remember we can always restart.

This weekend we welcome The Missionary Sisters who are here to present the annual national appeal. We are all called to spread the Goodnews, the Gospel of Christ, actively and by supporting the work of those who give their lives to this very special task.
