We hope to have a study group running on a Tuesday morning from 11 am for about an hour. The penitential season of Lent is an opportunity for us to be with our Lord in the wilderness and /or to journey with the people of Israel during their forty-year sojourn. The study group would hope to assist us in our prayer, penance and reflection.
The programme is open to everyone, but especially those who wish to know more about the Catholic faith with a view to becoming a Catholic. Having looked at the evidence for God, who we are as human beings, made to the image and likeness of God, the impact of ‘Original Sin’ or ‘the Fall’ an overview of where the Bible comes from, we continue on January 19th by looking at the Ten Commandments. We meet at 7.30 in the small hall.
You will see from the ‘diary’ for this week, Masses are the ‘celebrant’s intention’; however, if you would like to have Mass offered for a personal or particular intention, please put details on a ‘Mass Intention’ envelope and hand it to Fr. Ian or drop it through the presbytery letterbox. You might like to have Mass offered for someone’s well-being, the repose of their soul, birthday etc. By tradition, the Mass ‘offering’, (rooted in Leviticus 7:28- 34 and Deuteronomy 18:3-8) should be sufficient to sustain a priest for the day. Many thanks.
