Welcome

7th March

Third Sunday of Lent

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to all parishioners and visitors to our masses this weekend, the Third Sunday of Lent.

Lent Small Groups This year, our Lent small groups will use a resource promoted by the Diocese, called ‘We Dare to Ask’, featuring five sessions each helping to prepare us for Easter and focussing on the promises made at Baptism. Small groups started on Wednesday 25^th February and end on 25^th March. Groups will meet at the usual times: 1:15 pm on Wednesdays in the Parish Room at OLQH; 7:30 pm on Wednesdays via Zoom; 7:30 pm on Fridays at Lindsay Williams’ house. Sessions last about 60 minutes. There will be sign-up sheets in the church porch. For Zoom or Friday evening details, contact Lindsay Williams at lindsay.williams.uk@gmail.com or Jan Paciorek at jan.paciorek@ntlworld.com

Thursday 12^th March: Please note that at 11.00am there will be a funeral mass for Maureen Baxter RIP. We would respectfully ask that if at all possible you do not park in the car park that morning. There will as usual be a mass at 10.00am on Thursday.

CAFOD – The Big Lent Walk: This Lent, Sandie O’Hanlon, Parish Administrator at Camberley and Bagshot Parish, is walking 200km over 40 days. Every pound raised will help bring clean, life saving water to countries such as Ethiopia and Peru. Please help if you can by sponsoring Sandie on this walk. Many thanks. For details please visit:
