The Holy Season of Lent is upon us early this year. Wednesday is a day of Fasting and Abstinence for those above the age of 14. The sick are dispensed from fasting. Blessed ashes will be imposed at the 10am and 6pm Masses on Wednesday. The Stations of the Cross will take place after 10am Mass on the Fridays of Lent. The priests of the Deanery are celebrating an evening Mass in St Patrick’s, Orangefield at 7pm each weekday evening during Lent.
Next Sunday is the First Sunday of Lent when the boys of P4 in St Joseph’s will be enrolled for their Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
