Parish Family Group – Every Sunday during Lent

A ‘family’ is however meant in a broad sense so every parish member is a member of this group and is welcome to it’s meetings.
The next meeting is on 1Oth March at 3.30pm. For more information please contact Wiktor Studnicki at wiktorstudnicki@gmail.com.

Reflections for Lent

The Southwark Diocesan Spirituality Commission will be producing an online series of reflections for Lent. The reflections will be sent to the subscriber’s email inbox, with a focus on the forthcoming Sunday readings.

Each day there will be a different reflection; Monday and Tuesday will focus on the first reading, Wednesday on the psalm, Thursday and Friday on the second reading and Saturday and Sunday on the Gospel.

The reflections will draw us deeper into the Lenten season an allow us to hear the readings anew, looking at where they resonate in our own lives and how they raw us near to God.

This is a great way to engage with Lent everyday of the season
