What did you do at Easter?

I can reveal that visits to the Pastoral Care Project website peaked considerably on Easter Day - you may wonder, WHY?
We are a small charity  with daily around 60, which is very good, as most are from organisations, but on  Easter Day there were 381 visits?

What were they looking for?  Rather than reveal  the pages here now, I invite you to have a look at the website and consider the pages you think? We would love you to have a go?  Please use the contact page, twitter @dementiaaprayer  or Facebook, thank you.

Gather and Pray:                                                                                          
Continuing with Gather and Pray, this evening Thursday 9th May at 6.45 - 7.45pm  there  will be  Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Mount Saint Bernard's Abbey, Coalville, The community pray  every week, not just for our work,  but for many people, so do take comfort that you are included.

Continue enjoying the goodness of the Easter season by listening to this beautiful song, 'Yes, I shall arise'.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIVmGXNlZP0 For me this hymn sung by Our Lady of the Angels Choir during Holy Communion on Easter Day will remain with me. The memory of  parishioners  coming forward to me to receive this new life from the Chalice, together with the music and lyrics  was 'heaven'.
