The season of Lent begins on Wednesday 18th February, Ash Wednesday. Mass with imposition of Ashes takes place at 10am and 7pm, to begin our Lenten ‘campaign of Christian service’. The 10am Mass will be live streamed.
On Friday evenings during Lent we share in the devotion known as the Way of the Cross together with our Anglican neighbours at St Laurence’s Church, some weeks at St Joseph’s and some weeks over the road at St Laurence’s, starting at 7.30pm:
20th February: St Laurence’s
27th February: St Joseph’s
6th March: St Laurence’s
13th March: St Joseph’s
20th March: St Laurence’s
27th March: St Joseph’s
During Lent, we are encouraged to deepen our faith through the practices of almsgiving, prayer and self-denial.
Suggestions for almsgiving this Lent include CAFOD, supporting those in need overseas, and Your Place (formerly Anchor House) addressing homelessness more locally.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday on 29th March. The Easter Triduum is observed from Maundy Thursday on 2nd April, until Easter Day Sunday 5th April. Details of the Holy Week liturgies will be posted here in due course.
