Lenten Appeal - 2019

---

This year’s appeal will support the work of the charity “Mary’s Meals” Please be as generous as you can be as you remember that this is one of the central actions of the Lenten season. White boxes are available at the back of church for you to take away and ‘top up’ during the next few weeks. Please return them at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday.  

You can find out more about “Mary’s Meals” at https://www.marysmeals.org.uk/
