International Women’s Day – Equality for Women in the Church

I would like to bring to your attention a global event, on International Women’s Day, in support of Equality for Women in the Church, which highlights an important issue in the Church and which will be the focus at our 11.15 Mass on Sunday 8 March.

Members of our community and of our Diaconia committee are participating in a procession in Luxembourg to demonstrate support for this issue before Mass from the cathedral to St Alphonse in conjunction with many cities across Europe and the world, which is being spearheaded by Voices for Faith.  Further information on Voices for Faith can be found by clicking here

If you wish to be involved in this event in any way, please come along to a meeting after the 11.15 Mass this Sunday, 23 February, in the Garden Room.  Fr Ed.

Week of Guided Prayer: 15-21 March

Rublev iconThis year’s Week of Guided Prayer during Lent will take place from Sunday 15 March to Saturday 21 March. There will be open presentations and discussions each evening as well as the possibility of confidential individual guidance from Fr HP and from our two visiting experienced prayer guides, Barbara and Margaret. Look out for further details here in the near future!

This year’s image is the famous Rublev icon. It represents the visit to Abraham of three angels, usually considered to represent the Holy Trinity (Gen 18). The unoccupied fourth place at table seems to invite the observer into the scene, as indeed we are all invited to share in the Divine Life of the Holy Trinity.
