Lent, Holy Week and Easter

Way of the Cross

We are invited to a Holy Lent, through a wide offering of opportunities for prayer and worship and reflection in this Lent, Holy Week and Easter programme.

We will be accompanied by sermons and music which will orientate us in this unique period of focus and preparation. We look forward to meeting the risen Christ at the end of these forty days.

Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, that by the observance of this Lent we may advance in the knowledge of the mystery of Christ, and show forth his mind in conduct worthy of our calling; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
