LENTEN CONFESSIONS (SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION) Saturdays, 10.30 – 11.00am They say the biggest mistakes we make in life are the ones we make with our eyes wide open—the ones where we know what we are doing, and decide to do it anyway. I would like to invite you to the sacrament of reconciliation - an opportunity for individual confession on Saturdays during Lent at 10.30 - 11.00am except Saturday of Holy Week. But don’t let nerves hold you back. However long it has been, however bad the sin, however embarrassed you feel – don’t let anything stop you from going to confession. Remember that it is the Lord we meet in confession. Christ touches our life through each sacrament. Every priest will keep your confession absolutely secret for the rest of his life.
POETRY READING TOMORROW There will be a fantastic Poetry Reading in Halifax tomorrow by “Wordplay”. Venue: Square Chapel, Halifax Date: Monday, 8 April Time: 7.45pm Entry: £5, pay on door. “WordPlay” features three great poets: Jim Carruth, Anthony Costello and TS Eliot Prize shortlisted Zaffar Kunial. Come along and enjoy a great evening.
