Lent begins today a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  Mass at the Cathedral is at 12.15 and Mass this evening at St Thomas More at 7.00pm.


There are a number of online virtual retreats or guides through Lent over the next few days we'll post details of some which you may wish to follow.  Today one from the Loyola Arts and Faith series








Pope Francis


“We are invited to embark upon a journey on which, by defying routine, we strive to open our eyes and ears, but especially to open our hearts, in order to go beyond our own ‘backyard.’”
Homily at the Basilica of Santa Sabina, 5 March 2014
