For Pope Leo, this war is the hour of our choosing as Christians. We follow Jesus, King of Peace, “who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war”. Or we blaspheme. Which will I choose this Easter? (From his Palm Sunday homily):
GREAT EASTER TRIDUUM (all three ceremonies - Holy Thursday, Good Friday Passion & Easter Vigil form one Event)
HOLY THURSDAY 2nd April. “The Last Supper” 6.30pm, in Caherline Church. Confessions after Ceremony.
GOOD FRIDAY 3rd April. “The Passion” 4pm in Caherconlish Church. (Collection for the Holy Land). Confessions after Ceremony.
GOOD FRIDAY 3rd April. Stations of the Cross - 7pm in Caherline Church. (Collection for the Holy Land).
HOLY SATURDAY 4th April. The Great EASTER VIGIL - 6.30pm in Caherconlish. Resurrection with Easter Fire. The highlight of the Church’s year. The 2026 Paschal Candle is lit from the fire. Christ is Risen. Alleluia.
EASTER SUNDAY 5th April. DAWN MASS 6am Inch St. Laurence; 10.30am in Caherline Church. Christ is Risen. Alleluia. Alleluia.
Christ is Risen. Alleluia. Alleluia. Easter is a time of hope and new life. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the core element of our Christian faith. Without Easter there is no Christianity. We wish all our parishioners the gift of hope this Easter given that so many things have gone wrong in the world.
