BISHOP TOAL’S EASTER MESSAGE 2024

Webmaster • Mar 30, 2024

I wish everyone a very Happy Easter and pray for the blessing of the Risen Lord upon us all and our world. We pray especially that the peace offered by Christ as he appeared to his disciples at Easter may reign everywhere, especially among the peoples of his own land. May new hope spring up, even among the debris of war and the awful reality of human suffering and death.


The Wellspring Project, which I recently initiated in our Diocese, seeks to encourage a new vision and a desire for growth and participation in the life and mission of the Church here in Motherwell. The Scriptures frequently use the image of water and the new growth it brings. The Easter Liturgies highlight water also, and invite us to renew our baptismal promises, revived in the new life in the Spirit poured out upon us in the Sacraments. The Wellspring Project invites our parishes in particular to respond with fervour to our baptismal calling, and to continue to celebrate our faith and to form communities of faith, hope, and love in the great mission entrusted to us by the Lord Jesus. The joy and enthusiasm of Easter does offer an opportunity to welcome and promote participation in our Parish and Diocesan Life. Easter is the time for new beginnings and fresh hope, trusting in the Lord’s abiding presence and the gift of the Holy Spirit.



This Easter I ask for your support, and especially your prayers, for the Wellspring Project, as we all strive to serve the Lord with thanksgiving in our hearts and fresh vigour in our actions.


With renewed Easter greetings,

Yours in Christ,

+ Joseph Toal

Fr. Frank's Easter Message 2024

By Webmaster • 30 Mar, 2024
He is risen! He is not here! Man's inhumanity to Man As we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, we remember this great act of love. Jesus died and rose from the dead to save us and redeem us. His message of justice peace and love are as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago. I think about the saying "man's inhumanity to man." especially in War torn areas, Ukraine and Gaza the fighting is still going on. People are dying, starving. I ask that the Risen Lord will bring peace to these conflicts and peace to our whole world. I also pray for peace in our community, parish and families, that the Risen Lord will be with each and every one of us. It has been a busy week so far, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped. I really appreciate everybody who has helped in anyway. I want to wish you and your families a happy and holy Easter. That the Risen Lord will be with you today and always. Always be assured of my continued prayers and commitment to the parish.  God Bless and Prayers Fr. Frank
