So we have arrived at the beginning of Lent, and there was a large turnout for Sunday Mass. There will be Stations of the Cross in the church on Friday at 7pm, and Lent lunches each Friday at 12.45pm.
Today was also a special day because it was the start of our Jubilee celebrations. Sacred Heart parish will be 50 years old in August this year. Parish council chair Brian Davies spoke at both masses this week about the meaning of jubilee. He also distributed a card listing all the main events taking place during the year to mark the event. These cards are available in the narthex, and most of the information is also on the parish website.
Last night, the first of the events took place - parish quiz night attended by about 70 people, with Father Ted as questionmaster. It was an excellent event, well organised and a fun evening. Well done to everyone involved. There are plenty of other social events planned for the year.
Lent groups begin this week and the parish council meets on Thursday at 7.30pm. Everyone welcome. New members are needed to welcome people to church, and to help make the tea - both vital ministries, and your support would be appreciated. Please call Mary Cook.
