A Solemn Mass will be sung for Passion Sunday, the Fifth Sunday in Lent, on Sunday 22 March at 10:30am.

As the Church enters the solemn season of the Passion, our eyes are fixed upon Christ crucified. In His suffering and self-giving love, we are taught the mystery of redemption and the hope of preservation in both body and soul through God’s unfailing mercy.

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

Amen.
