First Sunday of Lent
Cycle C – 21st February to 27th February 2010
CAFOD Lenten Fast Day – Friday 26th February
This year is the 50th anniversary of Lenten Fast Day and we’re been asked to give it up!
Most of us usually give up something for Lent like biscuits, wine, a big dinner on a Friday. This year why not create some amazing changes for people who live in the developing world by giving the money saved to CAFOD? For example the money you save by missing out on your favourite biscuits each day could go towards a bicycle to help a health volunteer take food to orphaned children.
Holy Week Witness (Cross) Town Hall – 29th March to 3rd April
Will those who volunteered to witness at the Cross during Holy Week, please return their forms this weekend and hand them in to Jean (Sacristan). Thank you.
