Also following on from our mission, which included a penitential service with well over 200 people in attendance and an increase in immediately pre-Christmas confessions with a lot being heard on the Sunday before Christmas, there will be confessions after every Sunday Mass during Lent. Please do make use of this act of non-condemnatory compassion of Christ through his Church. It is the key to renewal in our community.
Next week it will be possible to sign up for one of our Lenten reflection groups.
