Clergy Thoughts: “This weekend, dear Friends, is the Laetare Sunday of Lent. This is our Fourth Sunday of Lent, and it is meant as a small, brief, respite from our chosen Sacrifices of these 40 days. This lighter tone is shone in the Clergy's Rose-coloured vestments.

This weekend then let the word REJOICE allow a break from our SORROW   and remember the words of our Responsorial Psalm:  The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want."  Lenten Blessings:  Rev Dcn David Croucher
