Season of Lent
Stations of the Cross
We are looking for volunteers to lead the Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent at 6pm. Those who volunteer are welcome to choose the text they would like to use for the Stations. If you are willing to help with one or more Fridays, please do get in touch. We also need one server for each Friday to process round with the cross.
Easter Baptisms
Jessica, Charlene, and Tony, who are preparing to be baptised and received into the Catholic Church at Easter, will take part in the Rite of Election on 22nd Feb in the Cathedral as an important step in their journey of faith. This will be preceded by a Retreat Day in Christ The King parish offering them time for prayer and reflection as they continue their preparation. We keep them in our prayers and ask God to bless and guide them as they draw nearer to the sacraments at Easter.
