FROM THE PARISH PRIEST

Holy Week draws us into the darkest and most glorious hour in human history. We behold the Son of God betrayed, abandoned, scourged, and lifted up upon the Cross, bearing the weight of our sins in silence and love. The shadow of death falls heavily over Gethsemane, Calvary, and the sealed tomb, and yet beneath it all the victory of God is already beginning to break forth. In these sacred days, we do not stand at a distance, but are summoned to watch, to weep, to repent, and to adore. Then, out of the dreadful silence of the grave, Christ rises in splendour, and death itself is shattered forever. As three churches gathered as one for the Sacred Triduum, may we be united ever more deeply in the mystery of Christ’s Passover and in the communion of His Church.
