🌅 Easter Message
Dear brothers and sisters,
Having journeyed together with the Church through Lent and Holy Week, Fr. Kees and I wish you and your families a very blessed and joyful Easter!
We pray that the light of the Risen Christ and the joy of Easter may fill your homes, hearts, and minds. May the Resurrection guide your thoughts, words, and actions—and remind us all that, with Christ, we can overcome every challenge, even death.
Enjoy this special time with loved ones.
God bless and protect you all,
Fr. Dominic & Fr. Kees

🙏 Jubilee Year Prayer (Shortened Version)
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your Son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your kingdom.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever, Amen.
