We had planned to have an additional Mass tomorrow, 25th March for the feast of the Annunciation, but regretfully this Mass will not now go ahead. The English-speaking Mass at 19:00 will go ahead as usual.

Laudato Si Study Group
The first meeting of the study group on Pope Francis’ Encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si, will take place at 19.00 on Tuesday 21 March in the lounge bar: Le Bateau Jure at 5 Avenue Marie-Thérèse in Luxembourg city. The meeting is open to people of any faith or none.
Over the last year or so, rising populism and xenophobia have rather pushed the environment and social justice down the agenda of public discourse. But, taken together, they are still the most important issues facing humanity and Christians have a duty to get involved. With Laudato Si, Francis is both taking a lead and setting us all a challenge.
If you intend to come, please let Stephen McCarthy know by phone or preferably SMS to: 621 31 91 10
Reminder: remarkable Stations of the Cross
Tonight (15th March) at 19:00 The Stations of the Cross, painted in 1943 by an English prisoner of war held in Germany, will be the subject of a talk and reflection at St Alphonse. The talk is about the artist, Thomas Burke. The devotional reflection afterwards focuses on the Stations’ relation with the experience of a prisoner of war. If you haven’t yet done anything significant for Lent, this would be a good thing to do!
