LENT IS ON US   Our annual few weeks of training begin on Ash Wednesday. May this Lent be rich in grace for us all so that we may use Lent as preparation for Holy week and Easter. Father Tom Kenny will arrive late on Sunday 21st February. Bishop Peter is coming for Ash Wednesday for both Masses in the church i.e. 10.00 am and 8.00 pm and Canon Tony Griffiths will come for the 4.00 pm Mass on Ash Wednesday at Ker Maria.

On Thursday and Friday (18th & 19th) following Ash Wednesday Canon Griffiths will be with you for the 10.00 am Mass on each of those days. I thank both Bishop Peter and Cannon Griffiths for being so ready to help our parish. I hope and pray that with Father Tom’s help there will be Mass every day during Lent.

 

IN RETIREMENT  I shall continue to hold you in my heart and to pray for you. I owe you so much. Father Tom will be truly blessed if you love and support him as you have loved and supported me.

 

THE POSPONED CAFOD PROJECT MEETING  will now take place this Monday (15th Feb) at 7.30 pm in the Clubroom. New members always welcome.
