Easter Greetings:- I wish a happy and holy Easter to all of you. May the blessings of the Risen Lord be with you all. I welcome home friends and members of your family who have come to spend the season with us. I hope you all have a pleasant and enjoyable time. I wish to thank all the people who helped out in the different churches in the Parish in different ways and did so much necessary work. I thank you all and your work is very much appreciated. I hope the celebration of the glorious resurrection of our Lord at the mass will renew the faith of our people. May we all realise the Lord has risen and is in our work and with each one of us. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, may our hearts today burn within us as Jesus still speaks to us and accompanies us on our way.
