The Second Week Of Lent

Encouraging transformation

Always on the Second Sunday of Lent there is a Gospel account of the Transfiguration of Jesus. It is a moment before what would seem to be devastating that Jesus anticipates the Resurrection by letting his glory be seen. It shows the disciples that what he had told them about his forthcoming Passion would lead to his victory. ‘Be prepared!’ is his advice to them – as it is for us.

Our Diocesan Administrator

Canon Jonathan Martin has been elected as Diocesan Administrator while the process of appointing a Bishop for the Diocese gets underway. He has explained this in a short video. Please remember him in prayer.

The Lent Fast

The Catholic Agency for Overseas’ Development, CAFOD invite us to fast this Friday and make a donation to support their work. There are some fundraising envelopes for your giving – do not be put off by the insert –

It may be easier to make a donation with your card or pop it in the wall box in the entrance. This is one way to practise almsgiving.

Lent and Ramadan

Bishop Patrick McKinney, the Lead Bishop for Interreligious Dialogue for the Bishops’ Conference, has welcomed a Vatican message to Muslims on the occasion of the month of Ramadan and for the feast of Id al-Fitr.

Followers of both religions find themselves fasting and praying at this time:

St David Patron Of Wales

The Prince & Princess of Wales as we saw on the news visited the country wearing Daffodils on their coats – 2 days early. Because of the Lenten Sunday his Feast day is not being observed on March 1^st this year.

"Be joyful and keep your faith!' 
St David
