SPEND AN HOUR A WEEK WITH THE LORD IN LENT Lent is a time of fasting, prayer and reflection as Jesus did when he spent 40 days in the desert. This Lent, there is a new way to spend a quiet hour with the Lord each week by giving him an hour in Eucharistic Adoration. Anyone who would like to try this out is very welcome to join the regular adorers in our Church for an hour to see for themselves if this is something that they would like to do. For days and times or to find out more information, please pick up a flyer from the Church bookstand.
