The Season of Lent runs from Ash Wednesday to the Easter Triduum beginning this year on 17th February
THINGS TO DO FOR LENT
This year we celebrate a very different kind of Lent
Normally, we might undertake to attend Mass more regularly, even daily. However, because of Level 5 restrictions, it is not possible to attend Mass.
We might on other years have attended meditations and reflections on the scriptures but coming together physically is not possible today.
Because things are different this year, we can look at the way we mark Lent in a different way.
Even if we cannot gather in the church or in the parish rooms or in other peoples houses,
we can still come together to pray.
There are many online resources that you may find helpful
and series of reflections that might interest you. Some of them you can find links to below.
For an Introduction to the season of Lent, have a listen to Bishop Denis Nulty here

Trócaire:
Lent is a time when we offer both prayerful and financial support to those who live in poverty.
Trócaire boxes are available at the church. Please take one home with you and place it in a prominent place in your home.
Bring your offerings back to the Church on Holy Thursday or over Easter Week.
