Lent

Journey with Jesus these forty days towards the celebration of Holy Week and Easter, the high point of our Faith. Bishop Paul’s Pastoral Letter for Lent - download here - provides much food for thought. Please note the weekday Mass times, devotions and Stations of the Cross, all opportunities for extra prayer in Lent.

Adrian and James of our parish met Bishop Paul at the Rite of Election at the Cathedral. They will be baptised at the Easter Vigil at St. Catherine’s and be received into the Full Communion of the Church. Please keep them especially in your prayers. Fr. John
