Easter Sunday
‘I have risen and I am with you still. Alleluia!’
Praising the goodness and mercy of God is our central and joyful purpose within the Easter Sunday liturgy.
The scripture for today’s celebration proclaims God’s ultimate victory over death.
The One hung on a tree and laid in the tomb is no longer rejected, but raised to be appointed judge of the living and of the dead (First Reading and Gospel).
Christ is forever the cornerstone (Psalm) and, having taken his place at the right hand of God (Second Reading), he continues to offer to us the priceless gift of a share in his life.
Let’s pray, during this Easter week, that Christ’s constant, faithful love will raise us up to fresh encouragement and greater hope, so that we may bear witness to his resurrection in our daily lives. Amen.
(With thanks to St Beuno's Outreach)

Welcome
Welcome to the website of St Ninian’s Catholic Church in Knightswood, Glasgow. I hope and pray this will be a resource for spiritual nourishment for you who visit, that it will be a source of inspiration for parish outreach, allowing us to be the heart and hands of Christ for those around us, and that it will make a contribution to community building for the entire Knightswood area.
As we make our way through the year, let God’s light lift up our Spirits and our faith. May we have the courage to meet and embrace the challenges and the encounters of life with a renewed sense of purpose in the weeks and months ahead.
Thank you for visiting our website and our thanks to David Gray for permission to use his wonderful photographs of our Church.
