Bishop Vincent’s Homily for Easter Sunday 2025

This year, we hear the account of the Passion from the Gospel of St Luke who sees Jesus from the perspective of an outsider. He is at pains to point out that the way Jesus carried out his mission was fundamentally counter-cultural. (Read More)

Fr Frank Brennan’s Homily: Easter Sunday 2025

We now begin our holiest of weeks for the year. We follow Jesus into Jerusalem all the way through passion, death and resurrection. Each step of the way, the crowd, however constituted, has a role to play. Whether for or against Jesus, there would have been people in the crowd that week who were led by not much more than the herd instinct. (Read More)
