Lent Poster depicting prayer, fasting and almsgiving

Lent 2026

In the Penitential Season of Lent, by prayer, fasting and almsgiving, we seek to bring ourselves closer to the Lord.

Walk With Me booklets are available at the Piety Stall for £1.50. They have readings and reflections for each day of Lent.

The Stations of the Cross, as in previous years, will be prayed on the Fridays of Lent together with our Anglican friends. The next one is at 7pm on Friday, 13th March at St Joseph’s.

Please ensure that anything that needs keeping, is either moved from the area or clearly labelled and stored away. Thank you.
