We’re delighted to share services times and details for Holy Week and Easter 2023.
Easter is a very special time and Holy Week (starting from Palm Sunday on the 2nd April) is a whole week where you are called home to church, to be with one another – gathered around the tomb in prayer, fasting and love as we await the greatest victory ever!
I’m really pleased to be able to offer a children’s service on Palm Sunday afternoon where we’ll be building the Easter Garden in the Lady Chapel. Lots of mess and lots of fun!
I’m looking forward to welcoming you to St. Anselm and to our beautiful family.
Fr. Matthew
