Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics from 14 years old and older on all Fridays of Lent. This obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs.
Fasting means limiting oneself to one full meal on a given fast day.
When fasting a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are equally binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 years onwards.
We wish you all a blessed and Graceful Lenten Season.
Breakfast after Mass. Every Sunday after Mass, there is a breakfast of sausage or bacon on toast, tea & coffee in the Hall. Everyone is welcome.
The Parish is in a great need of an organist. If you know anyone who knows how to play an organ please see Fr Kris.

If anyone in our Parish is a joiner or handyperson and could make a cupboard in the sacristy, please will you speak to Fr
