EASTER AND HOLY WEEK

HOLY WEEK & THE EASTER TRIDUUM

​Join us for the greatest celebrations of the Liturgical year.

Palm Sunday 10th April 2022

Palm Sunday is the final Sunday of Lent, the beginning of Holy Week, and commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified. Blessed palms will be distributed to parishioners throughout Lent in anticipation of Palm Sunday.

​The Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which includes the washing of feet. A meal of unity, love and shared life.
At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist for the Church.

LENT

Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, we replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is marked by fasting, prayer and giving.

​Pope Benedict described Lent as “.. a journey that takes 40 days and brings us to the joy of the Lord's Pasch. On this spiritual journey, we are not alone because the Church accompanies and supports us from the outset with the word of God, which contains a programme of spiritual life and penitential commitment, and with the grace of the sacraments.”

Reconciliation

All time slots are now booked for Reconciliation on Saturday. If you have an urgent need to celebrate the Sacrament please ring one of the priests on 01483 562 704 to make a personal arrangement Monday-Friday.
