CHRIST, THE SECOND ADAM

Today we celebrate Christ, the Second Adam,

He alone is our boast.

My Dear Friends,

The list is still in the porch for those who are keen to join the Lent Prayer groups, and as mentioned last weekend, I hope that a number of us would wish to be included. The Sunday evening group will start meeting again this week at 7 pm in the side chapel. Just come along - you will be made very welcome I can assure you! Time and venue for the 2nd group is still to be finalised. Sign up today!!

With Lent being so early this year, there is an inevitable clash of dates with the Pilgrimage Directors' Conference in Lourdes. This always takes place over the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and as Diocesan Director I am required to be there. So please take note of the venue for the early weekday Masses in this coming week.

From next week (20th Feb) there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for one hour after Mass on Wednesday. This is an extra opportunity for us to develop our lives of prayer during Lent by spending time with the Lord.

Finally, Friday of this week is the CAFOD Lenten Family Fast Day. Be sure to take an envelope with you today for collection next Sunday.

God Bless.
