Using Paula Gooder's book "Women of Holy Week: An Easter journey in nine stories" (Church House Publishing, 2022) we listen to the voices of women who experience Jesus at his Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.
If you would like to borrow a copy of this book to follow along and deepen your spiritual journey through Holy Week, please contact the Parish Priest.
Alternatively, click on the button/link below to take you to the C of E webpage, which has information about the book, and offers the series of reflections in a podcast format.
