RAY COLLINS: The Easter Season and a Restful Break
This week we reach the end of the first school Term, and many of us will be looking forward to the opportunity for a break from the rigours of school life. As usual, Term 1 has been a particularly busy one with the celebration of Lent, Holy Week and Easter being a major influence on the life of our schools and Catholic Schools Office.
TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, Jesus is risen, Happy Easter! It is so good to have the alleluia back in our liturgies, such a joyous sound.
RAY COLLINS: Holy Week
This week we celebrate the great mystery of the life of Jesus Christ − as the Son of God and as a truly human being − through the celebrations of Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, his crucifixion and death on the cross and his triumphant resurrection.

RAY COLLINS: An Easter Message
When Pope Francis was elected as the leader of the Catholic Church, there would have been many questions as to the kind of Pontiff he would be. It didn’t take long for him to make it well known across the world that he had strongly held views on a range of matters that were confronting the Church and the world.
Dying to live the Good News
I hope you had a Happy Easter celebration in your family and community, and that it was a time of grace as well as joy, especially in this Year of Mercy, as we open ourselves to new encounters with the Risen Christ, the ‘face’ of the loving and merciful Father.

TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: Stepping forward in faith
As I sat in the Cathedral for Mass this weekend, I was struck by the readings and the place of the gift of faith in each of them.
