Ash Wednesday is the start of our Lenten journey.

Today at Mass a sign of the cross will be made on our foreheads from the blessed ashes made from last year's palms that were blessed on Palm Sunday. 

Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes

This Sunday we are celebrating our patronal feast- the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Come and join us as we celebrate Mass at our usual times- 9am and 6pm. Stay after Mass to have some refreshments and a chance to enjoy friendships both old and new! 



Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes
Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look upon me with mercy. When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary where you dispense your favours, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. My loving Mother, obtain my request. I will try to imitate your virtues so that I may one day share your company and bless you in eternity.                                                            Amen
