THE SYNOD PATHWAY
“In the one People of God, therefore, let us journey together, in order to experience a church that receives and lives this gift of unity and is open to the voice of the Spirit” – Pope Francis
“Pope Francis is offering us a way of being a church the Synod Pathway of walking more closely and being a church that is hope filled despite many challenges” – Archbishop Dermot Farrell
Preparation for the Synod is underway at Holy Family Parish and the animators nominated by the PPC will speak about the Synod to congregations at Masses on 19/20 February and 05/06 March.
Invitation cards to the meetings (in preparation for the Synod) are available.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS FOR LENT
As part of our preparations for the celebration of Easter, we will pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday during Lent at 7 pm in the Church, beginning on Friday 4th March 2022.
LENT
Lent began on Ash Wednesday 2nd March and continues for the next forty days and will be followed by Holy Week and Eastertide.
The blessed ashes on Ash Wednesday are intended to remind us of our mortality and of our need for conversion through repentance and commitment to the way of the Gospel.
