At the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection and consolidation of faith, we place the sign of a cross in ash on our foreheads to remind us that without God and his love we are no more than the dust of the earth.

To receive the imposition of ashes, join us either at 12pm or 7pm as we 'remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.'

The services will be livestreamed on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PortseaParish) or our YouTube channel (at 12pm: https://youtu.be/YvjgBBStcfE, at 7pm: https://youtu.be/fHKBImGJBYk).

Join our church communities at 10am on Sundays for a sung mass at St Mary's or a mass with hymns at St Faith's. Whether you're a regular churchgoer, looking to explore your faith, or interested in learning more about Christianity, these services are accessible and open to everyone.
