(1): 'We Dare To Ask', a resource for small group faith-sharing and for individual meditation, gets underway this week. The five sessions include scripture, prayers and a reflection with questions. Sessions will be every Wednesday evening beginning at 6.30 in St Urban’s meeting room.

(2): There will be Stations of the Cross every Sunday during Lent, this year at Our Lady of Lourdes starting at 3.00pm.

(3): This year we are hosting a Lent Lunch on Friday the 13th of March in the St Urban’s meeting room. It is a “bring and share” event with a talk from me (as though you don’t hear enough from me with homilies!). If you can help with hosting please let me know. Fr Chris

(4): the 3 pillars of Lent are prayer, abstinence and charity. The Society of St Vincent de Paul do great charitable work in our parish. Why not consider getting involved? Their next meeting is Monday the 2nd of March at 7.00pm, the meeting room St Urbans.
