Reflection Upon the Sunday Readings
​​Our journey through lent, from darkness to light, from misunderstanding to seeing more, has taken us many places.  We went with The Beloved Son of God into the desert to watch Him reject one strategy and choose another for life to the full for all.  We have climbed physical mountains with him to see Him transfigured on Mount Tabor.  We have followed Him through the twisted labyrinths of a loveless world to find a mercy as sustaining as bread and as intoxicating as wine.  And we have listened to the story of His refusal to embrace violence as a means to any end; His utter faithfulness to His mission to bring health and well being to the world.
 
Now we are ready to follow love into mystery.  It begins on the first - and never ending - Easter Day....
Parish Prayer For Evangelisation
Newsroom
This lent, our Parish Lenten Journey is supporting the work of CAFOD. Due to limited resources, CAFOD turns away 1 in 3 requests for help!
There are a number of ways that you could support CAFOD in your own Lenten journey.
Here are a few suggestions
  1. Rather than have one simple lunch this lent – have several and over the course of lent donate this money
  2. If you are giving up something for lent that requires money; save this money and give a larger one off donation at the end of lent
  3. Think about becoming a regular donor to CAFOD via direct debit – this helps CAFOD to budget as therefore commit to more projects.
  4. Become a campaigner for CAFOD – more information here
