Message from the Archbishop: Christ is risen! Alleluia! Today we stand at the empty tomb and reflect again on how the Lord Jesus has risen from the dead and how we have a share in it through faith and baptism. We also welcome all those who have become our brothers and sisters as Catholic Christians at the Easter Vigil: your presence among us is a wonderful sign of God’s grace at work. May the Risen Lord fill our hearts with His peace and joy. A very happy Easter to you and yours! +Leo
