A Solemn Mass will be sung for the First Sunday in Lent on Sunday 22 February at 10:30am.

As the holy season of Lent begins, the Church calls her children into the wilderness with Christ, that through fasting, prayer, and repentance we may learn anew our dependence upon God alone. In resisting temptation and submitting the flesh to the Spirit, the faithful are formed in obedience, humility, and holiness of life.

All the faithful are warmly invited to assist at this Solemn Mass, said according to Divine Worship: The Missal (Ordinariate Use).

Collect:
O LORD, who for our sake didst fast forty days and forty nights: give us grace to use such abstinence, that, our flesh being subdued to the Spirit, we may ever obey thy godly motions in righteousness and true holiness, to thy honour and glory; who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
