Lent 2024
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on 14th February. A forty day journey towards Easter during which we are all invited to fast, pray and give alms as a way of turning back to God and seeking him once more with all our hearts.
Masses with the distribution of Ashes will be celebrated at St Edmund’s Church at 10.00 and 19.00 and at Montana at 10.30.
Ash Wednesday is traditionally a day of fasting and abstinence.
