Bishop's Easter Message to Parish Communities 2011

14 April 2011


My dear people,


I write to wish you the peace and graces of the Easter season, which we are about to celebrate. The Resurrection of Jesus is the very foundation of all we believe and I pray that it will lift your hearts in renewed hope.


Just as we cannot forget Good Friday preceding Easter, so we are aware that the challenges and sorrows of our lives are always with us. It is through our friendship with Jesus that we find strength to move through the dying and rising experiences of life, never alone, always with Him.


May Easter be a family time, to recreate the love which enriches the bonds of family life and friendships. We are Easter People, and Alleluia is our song! Happy Easter everyone.


Yours sincerely

Bishop of Rockhampton
