FR DAVID WRITES
The Season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday, and today is the First Sunday of Lent. In faith, let us begin this time of grace together. In Lent we are invited to renew our friendship with the Lord, principally through prayer, fasting and charity. Let us also use this time to prepare spiritually for the celebration of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus in Holy Week. We look forward to welcoming back Bishop Sherrington who will join us on Good Friday to celebrate the Lord’s Passion in this centenary year. May God bless you all this week and throughout Lent.

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.

Thank you to Mgr Paul McGinn for joining us as the celebrant at Mass.
