Dear Friends,
Please find attached the newsletter for Lent I 2016
Next Saturday we will be holding out Lent retreat day from 11.30 am to 2.45 pm (with Mass celebrated as usual at 10.30 am). For the Jubilee Year of Mercy, the retreat this year will focus on this important and often misunderstood theme. Please feel free to invite others to attend: it would be a spiritual work of mercy to do so!
Sincerely,
Canon Altiere.
