A Solemn Mass will be sung for Septuagesima (the Third Sunday before Lent) on Sunday 1 February at 10:30am.

With Septuagesima the Church enters a more penitential season, turning her gaze from the joys of Epiphanytide toward the solemn disciplines of Lent. In these pre-Lenten days we are reminded of the labour of the Christian life, the frailty of human nature, and our utter dependence upon the mercy and grace of God.

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

Amen.
