Lenten Events 2021

Lent

The approaching season of Lent is described as a joyful season. Despite the difficulties and restrictions we face, Lent gives us an opportunity to rediscover who we are and the life-giving message of the Good News.

Unfortunately this year we are unable to mark Ash Wednesday in the traditional way. It is in solidarity with one another and with all our neighbours that we must continue to strictly adhere to social distancing, hand sanitising and the wearing of face coverings.

While our church remains closed for public worship, in solidarity with one another and with wider society, our church is open daily offering time for private prayer.

In preparation for Ash Wednesday and Lent you can join us online for daily Mass https://www.mountmerrionparish.ie/webcam/

We will post information here about evening reflections, Lenten talks, reconciliation services and times to come together for prayer and spiritual nourishment.
