The season of Lent has begun well, with a large attendance at the Ash Wednesday services. We will have a special series of reflectionsevery Wednesday on 4 major themes, which we feel will make Lent more meaningful. The first sharing will be on Ignatian discernment, given by Mr. Montwyn D’Costa: the Academic Dean of St. Stanislaus International School and long-time partner with the Jesuits. He will speak on how a lay person approaches Ignatian discernment in daily life. The session is this Wednesday 9th March from 7.40 pm to 8.20 pm: this will be live in Church and also live streamed. Three further will be b on Solidarity with the poor, on the Ecological Movement and on bringing our Youth centre-stage. We hope you will attend.
