Why Sunday Matters – an invitation to reflect on Sunday Mass

Sunday – the day of the Lord – has always held a central place in the life of the Church. It is the day of resurrection, rest, and Eucharist. It is the day when we gather as a community, united in our love for Christ, to encounter the risen Lord and be nourished in body and soul.

Click on the link opposite to download a copy of the document, as we reflect on the immense significance of Sunday Mass – not simply as a ritual, but as the source and summit of our faith. Here, we meet Christ in His living presence and are strengthened to live as His disciples. Attending Sunday Mass, or its vigil on Saturday evening, is more than a duty; it is a sacred privilege and a chance to be renewed by God’s love.

We invite you to explore this message with an open heart, and to embrace the precious gift of Christ’s presence among us in the Eucharist.
