This year Ash Wednesday falls on Wednesday 17th February. It's a day of fasting and abstinence. Ashes will be blessed during our 10am Mass. We wish to begin our Parish Lenten Journey in the best possible way. We will be open. Social distancing will be fully implemented. We will not be able to distribute the Ashes in the usual way. This year we will be sprinkling them over your head. The Pope and many around the world receive in this manner - so you will be in good company. Below is an outline of a very Special Day we plan for Ash Wednesday.
9.30 Church Doors Open Rosary led by Parishioners
10am Holy Mass With Distribution of Ashes 11am Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. 11.15am Rosary
12.30-12.45 Sprinkling of Ashes available

Please note: This year we can offer, because of the circumstances we find ourselves in, a chance for one family member to pick up a small amount of ashes - blessed - to bring home and offer to those sick, housebound, or isolating. We will also put on our website and newsletter a prayer for you to use at home.
