Easter 2020

Easter Sunday

HE IS RISEN!
Celebrate the Saviour!

May this day, bring hope and blessings to you and your family,

with love from all at St. Albans

Our new Easter Lily board with the names of the departed we hold close, each and every day.

Holy Saturday

Help me, Dear Lord, to Enter into the sorrow and the silence of this Holy Saturday. Today no sacraments are celebrated.

Today the world waits in mourning in anticipation of the glory of new life!

Good Friday

We have one, who also was broken in ways we could never comprehend, yet he remained strong and chose to endure it all – for us.

He extends grace to remind us we don’t have to stay stuck in our struggle and pain. He holds good in store through it all, able to bring greater purpose, beauty and strength. He never intends for us to remain in the pit of our despair – for He breathes fresh life.

The power of the Resurrection gives hope for our future.

Maundy Thursday

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. John 13;34

We have already become ‘a different sort of church’ in unprecedented ways. The very place in which the body of Christ finds its identity, offers prayer, and receives solace in time of crisis—that is, the church building—is not available to us. The present situation does not negate the joy we have been granted in the resurrection, but it will be lived out this year in different ways.

Servers Lunch 2019

We had a fantastic afternoon at Global Buffet for this years’ Servers Lunch. 

We celebrated the hard work and effort our young people put in to making Mass successful each week with their dedication.  

Please find some of our pictures below – our young people took ALL THESE!!

Charles Whitham

 

It is with sadness to announce our Director of Music, Charles Whitham has passed away. 

Lord, you came to earth that in your power and love, we might ascend into heaven; bless those whom we love that have departed this life with the gift of life and love eternal.
