EASTER 2012

EASTER EVE AT ILFORD HOSPITAL CHAPEL

We went to the Hospital chapel in the afternoon to prepare for the service at 5.00 p.m. when we Lit the New Fire , Blessed the Paschal Candle and celebrated the First Mass of Easter and finally blessed the Easter Garden.. We now have a team of servers at the Chapel together with 4 people authorised to administer the Blessed Sacrament. I was very pleased with the numbers who supported the service. The next service at Ilford Hospital Chapel is on Thursday at 12.35 p.m. There is an OPEN DAY on next Saturday and if you have never visited this historical gem in the middle of Ilford why not come along. There are guided tours and refreshments available,

EASTER DAY

At the crack of dawn we were up to go to St. Augustine’s  for the Easter  Vigil & Ceremonies at 5.30 a.m. Despite being dark the birds were all singing – you can read all about this and the other services at St.Augustine's here
