Our Easter celebration begins tonight, with the Easter Vigil at 7.30pm.

In this ancient service dating from the early days of the church, we light the Easter Candle from the New Fire, listen to the story of God's saving love, renew our baptism promises and celebrate the First Mass of Easter. And then we have a party!

Join us tonight, and on Easter morning, tomorrow at 9am (when the Festival Mass is followed by a free Easter egg hunt).

'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.'

Tonight at 7pm we step into one of the most tender moments of Holy Week. On the night before He died, Jesus gathered with His friends, broke bread, and gave them a new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.”

And then He did something astonishing.
He knelt down and washed their feet.

In that simple, humbling act, Jesus showed us what love looks like in action — service, compassion, and a willingness to stoop low so that others may be lifted up. It is the doorway into the mystery of the Cross, where love will be poured out completely.

At Mass this evening, the priest will echo that same gesture of Christ by washing the feet of members of the congregation — a living reminder that we are called to serve one another with the same self-giving love.

You are warmly invited to join us as we enter the great Triduum together, remembering the night He gave us the Eucharist, the commandment of love, and the example of humble service.

Mass begins at 7pm
All are welcome.
