Lent has begun !


Lent has begun. For 40 days the Church unites herself to Christ who spent the same period fasting and praying in the desert. For Him, it was a time of preparation for His public ministry; for us it helps us prepare for the feast of Easter.
The ashes distributed at today's masses were last years palms which were burnt after Sunday mass(see photo).
Durning this season of Lent purple vestments shall be used.
