St Stephen’s, Hull

EASTER MORNING

The stone has been rolled away . . . about 100 people gathered to celebrate our Mass of the Resurrection- which was full of joy, beauty and new life, especially with the baptism of the two young catechumens and of the 2 week old brother of one of them. Added to this there was the reception into the faith community of an older person who had been following the ‘Journey in Faith’ Process for some while. He made his profession of faith, was confirmed and received the eucharist for the first time with the community.

Disguising a sand pit and making it waterproof we had been able to create the nearest we could to baptism by immersion. This added powerfully to the experience of baptism. Photos will follow soon to show the simple beauty of the ‘pool’.

Peter and John rush to the tomb and discover the truth . .

In the evening on the road to Emmaus .. . . . . . .
they recognise him in the
breaking of bread

COME & CELEBRATE
NEW LIFE WITH THE RISEN CHRIST

EASTER SUNDAY 12 APRIL

MASS 10.30am at St Stephen’s

Includes 2 baptisms and an adult reception into the church.

Come and rejoice with us all!

Early on the first day of the week
Mary of Magdala
came to the tomb
to anoint the body of Jesus. . . . .
She found the stone rolled away and asked a stranger ‘Where have they put him?’

This is a monthly leisure and spiritual day for elderly people who come from many of the parishes across the city, brought by a wonderful team of voluntary drivers.

It is held on the last Wednesday of every month thanks to Margaret and her team. 

Housebound will celebrate its Silver Jubilee this year.

Every year the housebound group make a three day pilgrimage to Walsingham. Above are four pictures from the latest visit.
