Can you believe that Lent is now upon us? Are you ready to get ready for the big Feast of Easter? Ash Wednesday is the starting point and here is a crash course on the first day of penitential season to get you in the mood for the rest of Lent....
Try to do something special for Lent. For example by fasting not only from food but other good things that we enjoy – e.g. that favourite TV show – let’s make a space for the Lord in our busy lives. Watch out for dates for the Campus Penitential Service with several Priests present to hear Confessions and share our Lord’s Forgiveness in the season of Lent.

We will celebrate Holy Mass on Ash Wednesday on Bath Campus outside the Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre - wonderful witness to our Christian Catholic Faith. A great way to begin Lent! All are welcome of any tradition to receive the Blessed Ashes.
We braved the cold and gales and celebrated Holy Mass and the receiving of Blessed Ashes on Bath Campus  for Ash Wednesday, alfresco. Thanks to all of you who were able to come and begin Lent together as a community, helping each other on our Lenten journey and being a great witness to our Catholic, Christian faith.
