Mini Mission 1: Starts tomorrow

This is the last of our nine days preparation for the Mini Mission.  We hope its given you a flavour of some of the different things that are going on in the Lancaster Diocesan Youth Centre, Castlerigg.  As the team prepare to come from the Lake District we pray that they will be given the energy and gifts they need to help to inspire and share their faith with the children, young people, parents, parishioners and teachers they meet in the schools and parishes of the Lancaster and Morecambe Diocese.

Please try to support them and use this opportunity to think about what the Year of Faith means to you.  The week will end with a Taize Service of Celebration at the Cathedral on Friday at 7.00pm 

Preparing for First Confession
Today one of the children who are enrolled in the Cathedral parish preparation programme for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion, checked out the confessional.  He will join others on Wednesday evening, when they make their first confession. 

Throughout the Lancaster Diocese all churches are open and a priest is available to hear confessions on a Wednesday evening between 7.00 and 8.00pm.
The Castlerigg team have prepared a reflection which you may wish to use to prepare for this healing sacrament.
