Today there is a pastoral letter from Cardinal Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, in preparation for the coming season of Lent which begins on Wednesday. The main part of the message will be read out at Masses this weekend. The pastoral letter may be viewed on the diocesan website www.rcdow.org.uk.  We look forward to seeing you all this week on Ash Wednesday, and again next weekend for the First Sunday of Lent. If you have been on half-term holiday we hope you had a lovely week and are ready to return to school and college. May God bless you all.

We had a lovely celebration on Friday evening in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes. Many thanks to everyone who came or who helped our celebration in any way. Thank you to Mgr Paul McGinn for joining us as the celebrant at Mass. I wish you all every blessing in this our centenary year, as the whole Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and keeps the World Day of Prayer for the Sick. This coming week is also half-term. We send you good wishes if you are on holiday from school, college or work. This coming Tuesday we will hold the meeting of the Enfield Deanery conference here at Our Lady of Lourdes in honour of her recent feast day. Please keep us in your prayers. God bless you all.
