LENT PROGRAMME

Details of the parish’s programme for Lent are available at the back of church. Do take a copy if you haven’t already got one. We hope that everyone will find some habit of devotion offered this Lent that is helpful to them.

ZOOM LENT COURSE

This year, in addition to the parish’s Lent programme, we are invited to join The Chapel of Unity for its on-line 30-minute Scripture Reflection at 6.00pm each Monday evening during Lent.

Inspired by Jesuit spirituality, each short session will reflect on the week’s Sunday Gospel and meditate on a piece of a sacred work of art inspired by the Sunday Gospel.
