God, Heavenly Father,

look upon me and hear my prayer during this holy Season of Lent.

Amen

The Big Lent Walk

This year we will be supporting CAFOD by taking part in their 'Big Lent Walk' to help raise money to fight global poverty.

On Friday 22nd March 2024 the children will walk around the local area and we ask you to send in £1 for this charity.

Thank you for your support.
