SAT 02 APR Easter Saturday
Easter opens for us the meaning of being human, the reason for our being in this world and the
destiny that awaits us in the next. Jesus breaks forth from the stone-sealed tomb to speak to us
of new life, of transfiguration and of re-creation. Whatever our feelings or mood, Jesus promises to accompany us on our journey and to lead us through the crucible of suffering, across the
bridge of death, and through the gates of eternal life. The God in whom we believe and in
whom we place all our trust, is the God of life, God who is with us – even to the end of time.

APPOINTMENT OF PARISH ADMINISTRATOR Bishop Alan has negotiated
a way forward for the Parish of Our Lady and The English Martyrs in Cambridge together with its Mass centres and the Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes
in Sawston for the pastoral and administrative needs for an interim period
until such time as a fixed solution can be found for its permanent care.
The present Parish Priest, Monsignor Peter Canon Leeming, is taking a
much deserved sabbatical from Easter II until the Autumn when he will
take-up a new appointment. He is to be thanked for his vision and direction
of OLEM Parish over these last six years.
The Bishop has appointed Monsignor Eugene Canon Harkness as the Parish
Administrator of Our Lady and The English Martyrs together with its Mass
centres and the Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes in Sawston. He will have the
full authority as a Parish Priest and will seek to serve the needs of all the
communities served under this scheme until such time as a new Parish
Priest is appointed. In addition to the present priests at Our Lady and The
English Martyrs, Father Alexander Ibe, SMMM will join the pastoral team.
Canon Harkness will maintain his responsibility as Parish Priest of Saint
Philip Howard in Cherry Hinton and has been given Father Philip John as
his Assistant Priest who will look after the day-to-day care of that parish.
COLLECTION ON EASTER SUNDAY: The Easter Vigil & Easter Sunday
