Thanks to all who took part in the liturgies during Holy Week and the Easter Triduum and at the Altar Glen – Readers, Eucharistic Ministers, Servers, Sacristans, those who decorated Churches with flowers and displays, Altar Glen Committee and Choir and collectors. Thank God for the reasonable weather – Easter Sunday was dry but cold and windy – bearable! I hope we all benefitted and were graced by our participation during that most holy of weeks.
