Look out for Lent!
Lent begins this Wednesday (18th) with Mass at 10am and 7pm. Ash Wednesday is a day of
fasting and abstinence for those between the ages of 14 and 60 who are not pregnant or suffering
from any illness.
There are lots of events during Lent to help you prepare for Easter. More details can be found in your
Lent leaflet. Please contact the parish office if you have any queries.
Don’t forget to pick up your Day by Day booklets from the porch to help you with your Lenten journey.
