Notices
Easter Vigil 8.30 p.m.
The Easter Vigil begins in darkness as a reminder of Christ lying in the darkness of the tomb, and it also reminds us of the years of darkness caused by the sin of Adam, which separated man from God
The Easter fire is lit to dispel the darkness. and from this is lit the great Easter Candle, which represents the risen Christ, the Light of the world.

From the Easter candle, the candles of the congregations are lit, symbolising the new life of the Blessed Trinity in our soul through baptism
Christ is risen - Alleluia
The Exultet, a hymn of rejoicing, is sung proclaiming the brightness and joy of this sacred night. This is followed by readings from the Old Testament reminding us of our salvation history
The Easter water is blessed, and we renew our baptismal vows. and the Easter mass is offered.
Lent is over! Let us rejoice with the risen Christ!
Christ our Light
Anniversaries
Morag Steele was Fr Tom’s devoted housekeeper for 30 years. Previous to that she served as a young girl in the Cathedral during the time of Bishop Martin. When she returned to Bornish, South Uist, Fr Angler, who had been a curate at the Cathedral, asked her parents if she could come for a few months to help him in his new parish at Glencoe. She remained with him for 30 years and looked after him in his retirement until he died. I knew both Fr. Angler and Morag very well as I often called at Glencoe on my return journey to Oban after visiting my parents in Fort William When I was appointed to Kingussie in 1966, she

kindly agreed to come to be my housekeeper and remained with me for 30 years until she died in Arisaig at the age of 89 on the Wednesday of Holy Week, April 3, 1996. She gave 73 years of her life in service to the priesthood, and I am sure for that she gained for herself a very high place in heaven. She was also a very devout and holy woman, May she rest in peace.
Tessa Millen, whose anniversary is also on April 3, and for whom mass has been said. May Tessa’s good soul rest in peace.
