Click here to read the Pastoral Letter from Bishop Patrick, which we hear at all Masses this weekend.
Bishop Patrick makes this call to us all:
So, if you know of people who haven’t been to Church and the Sacrament of Reconciliation for a while, but who might welcome the opportunity to spend time before the Lord in adoration and go to confession, please do let them know about these Lenten opportunities. It would be a wonderful act of mercy in itself if you felt able to offer to accompany them to church, or to meet them there, when adoration and confessions are available. Reassure them that they will be gently guided through the Sacrament of Reconciliation by the priest concerned, and experience only great compassion, understanding and mercy. Because, as Pope Francis constantly reminds priests, they must be authentic signs of God the Father’s mercy, ‘always, everywhere, and in every situation, no matter what’.Here is the poster for the Deanery Celebration. There will also be a guest priest available for Confessions at OLOL on Sunday, 28th February, after the 4.00pm Stations & Benediction
