Easter Mass Times
EVENING MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPER: In St Anne’s Carnoustie at 7.00pm, Thursday 2nd April, we are called to gather together to share the moving Holy Mass which recalls the Last Supper of the Lord which handed on to us His Most Holy Body and Blood in Communion. We are called also to reflect on Jesus’ loving humility as He washed the feet of His Apostles and urged His followers to imitate His example of loving service. After Holy Mass the Blessed Sacrament is carried in Procession around the church to the Altar of Repose. There we pray in silence with the suffering Jesus as we share His Agony in the Garden. The Altar is stripped bare to prepare for the Solemn ceremony of the next day.
FRIDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD: More commonly called GOOD FRIDAY after the saving work of our Saviour, we come together in the afternoon of Friday 3rd April at 3 o’clock, our bodies chastened with fast and abstinence from meat, on the tradition hour when Jesus died on the Cross for the whole world. What a moving experience to see the Cross carried down the aisle, being unveiled and venerated, by everyone in the church, , with a loving Kiss and a heart full of sorrow. We are in so much in need of the prayer of this Good Friday, as missiles and drones, spit out their venom and destruction in our world today. May the Loving Father look at the Sacrifice of His Loving Son and save us from ourselves.
In the Evening there will be Stations of the Cross and Veneration of the Cross in St Bride’s at 7.00pm., Monifieth. Please note the time, 7.00pm to give more time for those who are working.
THE GREAT EASTER VIGIL: Today the Church waits, keeps vigil in silence. The she calls her children together at sunset to watch and pray at the tomb of the Redeemer, as we recall His wonderful works of Salvation, as we rejoice in the Light of the Easter Candle and renew our Baptismal Promises to live as a child of God and witness to His Love. You are invited to stay and share our “Paschal Feast “ after Holy Mass. This Great Vigil starts at 8.30pm and please note the weekly vigil in St Bride’s is cancelled for that night only.

Useful Definitions of the Structures in the Catholic Church
What is a Catholic Bishops' Conference?
An episcopal conference, sometimes called a conference of bishops, is an official assembly of the bishops of the Catholic Church in a given territory. ... Individual bishops do not relinquish their immediate authority for the governance of their respective dioceses to the conference (Wikipedia).
What is an Archdiocese?
Dioceses ruled by an archbishop are commonly referred to as archdioceses; most are metropolitan sees, being placed at the head of an ecclesiastical province. A few are suffragans of a metropolitan see or are directly subject to the Holy See.
The term 'archdiocese' is not found in Canon Law, with the terms "diocese" and "episcopal see" being applicable to the area under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of any bishop.[8] If the title of archbishop is granted on personal grounds to a diocesan bishop, his diocese does not thereby become an archdiocese (Wikipedia).
What is a Diocese?
The group of churches that a bishop supervises is known as a diocese. Typically, a diocese is divided into parishes that are each overseen by a priest.
The original dioceses, in ancient Rome, were political rather than religious. Rome was divided into dioceses, each of which was made up of many provinces. After Christianity became the Roman Empire's official religion in the 4th century, the term gradually came to refer to religious districts. The Catholic Church has almost 3,000 dioceses. The Greek root of diocese is dioikesis, "government, administration, or province." (Vocabulary.com).
As of April 2020, in the Catholic Church there are 2,898 regular dioceses: 1 papal see, 649 archdioceses (including 9 patriarchates, 4 major archdioceses, 560 metropolitan archdioceses, 76 single archdioceses) (Wikipedia).
What is the difference between a Diocese and an Archdiocese?
Each diocese is within a Province - a group of Dioceses - the Archdiocese is the main Diocese within that Diocese. The bishop of that Archdiocese is therefore automatically an Archbishop. If a bishop has been made an Archbishop personally is referred to as an Archbishop but it does not make their Diocese an Archdiocese.
What is a Deanery?
A subdivision of a diocese, consisting of a number parishes, over which presides a dean appointed by a bishop. The duty of the dean is to watch over the clergy of the deanery, to see that they fulfill the orders of the bishop, and observe the liturgical and canon laws. He summons the conference of the deanery and presides at it. Periodically he makes a report to the bishop on conditions in the deanery.www.catholicculture.org
What is a Parish?
In the Roman Catholic Church, a parish (Latin: parochia) is a stable community of the faithful within a particular church, whose pastoral care has been entrusted to a parish priest (Latin: parochus), under the authority of the diocesan bishop. It is the lowest ecclesiastical subdivision in the Catholic episcopal polity, and the primary constituent unit of a diocese. In the 1983 Code of Canon Law, parishes are constituted under cc. 515–552, entitled "Parishes, Pastors, and Parochial Vicars." Wikipedia
