Lent is a time for reflecting and taking stock. As we prepare ourselves for the resurrection of Christ, it is a natural precursor to the new beginnings of Spring. It is a time when we journey through a period of abstinence, seeking to avoid the temptations of all that may take us away from God.

YEAR OF PRAYER 2024

In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year ‘Pilgrims of Hope‘, 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis.

The Holy Father has asked that 2024 be year of prayer, as a preparatory year for the Jubilee.  In preparation for the Jubilee, dioceses are invited to promote initiatives to remind people of the centrality of both individual prayer and community prayer.
