FR DAVID WRITES
Lent is underway! Thank you to everyone for a lovely day on Ash Wednesday and a great turn out of all the faithful. As we begin this journey of grace together, let us resolve to rely solely of God’s power and help, and to support one another with love, friendship and prayer. During this time, let us look for the opportunities to enter into prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Today there is a retiring collection for Lenten alms, and next weekend for CAFOD. May God bless us in this special season.

FR TOM WRITES
As our Lenten journey continues, let us reflect on how this sacred season is meant for our sanctification. Lent is not a diet, nor merely a time for secular self-improvement, but above all a renewal of our love for the Lord and a sincere return to His ways. This Sunday we hear the Gospel of the Transfiguration, a moment that comes before our Lord’s Passion and offers a glimpse of His glory. May this vision strengthen us, and encourage us to persevere faithfully on our Lenten journey.

It was truly beautiful to gather on Tuesday evening for the vigil of the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. We came together to commemorate the 1858 apparitions to St Bernadette while giving thanks for the gift of our parish. As we continue to treasure these moments of gratitude, let us pray that we may always deepen our devotion to our Lord and Our Blessed Mother. 

ASH WEDNESDAY
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and abstinence. Mass here will be celebrated at 8am, 10am (with music) and 7pm. Ashes will be imposed at all three Masses, but not outside of Mass. The car park will be available for all three Masses.
