Dear friends in Christ

Now that we have completed our days of Parish Mission, we give thanks to God for the opportunity we have had at the start of this Lent to be renewed in faith.

Dear friends in Christ

This week we begin our Parish Mission.

Dear friends in Christ

We have begun Lent in the traditional manner: with a day of penance on Ash Wednesday and we are now on the annual pilgrimage towards Easter.

Dear friends in Christ

This Sunday is the last before the start of Lent—in the traditional calendar Quinquagesima Sunday—fifty days until Easter!
