Dear Beloved Parish Members, As we approach the sacred days of Passion Week and the glorious celebration of Easter, my heart is filled with both reverence and joy. This season invites us to journey with Christ—from the sorrow of the cross to the triumph of the empty tomb. Passion Week reminds us of the deep love of Jesus, who willingly walked the road of suffering for our sake. His sacrifice was not a moment of defeat, but the ultimate expression of God’s love—a love that bears our burdens, forgives our sins, and redeems our lives. Then comes Easter morning, bursting forth with light, hope, and new life. The resurrection of Jesus is not just a historical event—it is the foundation of our faith and the promise of our future. Because He lives, we have hope that overcomes despair, peace that surpasses understanding, and joy that no circumstance can take away. I encourage you to reflect deeply during this season. Walk through the Gospels. Sit quietly in prayer. Join us in worship. Let the story of Jesus’ Passion and Resurrection renew your heart and revive your spirit. As a church, may we not only remember these events, but live in their power every day—reaching out in love, walking in grace, and proclaiming the hope we have in Christ. He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! This Lent season, we are having worship services and meditation series. All these would help us grow closer to God, I believe. Kindly make yourselves available to experience the grace and blessings together with our fellow believers through the worship services. Passion Week Services are as follows : April 17 -Maundy Thursday at 07:30 PM April 18- Good Friday at 11:30 AM April 19 – Easter service at 07:30 PM May God bless you all. With love in Christ, Rev. Jenu John Vicar 04-04-2025

Holy Trinity CSI Congregation Dublin The Crystal Jubilee Logo 2025-2026: The circle that connects the CSI logo and the Church of Ireland’s logo signifies the connectivity and communion between the Church of South India and the Church of Ireland. The Boat carrying the number 15 is a symbolic representation of the journey that continues as a church. The Word of God (Bible) is at the centre, representing the centrality of the Word in the faith journey. Beside the Word is water, and above the Word is the Dove; these three together represent the Trinity. The Shamrock, which is a cultural symbol of Irish nationality also denotes the Trinity. The Indian Map and the Symbolic representation of Kerala, which is our homeland on the left, and Ireland’s Map and the sign of a Church imply the migration of the faith community from its homeland and establishment as a church in Ireland. The people standing together under the shadow of a tree denotes the growth like a tree, also denoting the theme for the Jubilee, Planted in Faith, Watered with Love, Growing in Grace (1 Cor 3:6-7). The harp again is a cultural and national symbol of Ireland and it also signifies the praise and thanksgiving instrument used by David in the Bible. The grain of wheat, connected together at the outer circle, denotes the harvest and abundance of God’s grace that the church has been experiencing. Concept: Rev. Jenu John Designed by : Mr. Joby Zacharia John Released on : 01 March 2025 Released by : The Most Revd Dr. Michael Jackson, Archbishop, Church of Ireland
