Ash Wednesday

17 February 2010

Masses have been celebrated throughout our diocese to mark Ash Wednesday.  cliftondiocese.com brings you a podcast from Bath as Lent begins.

Our podcast is from St John the Evangelist Church in Bath city centre.  We speak with Father Peter Cornwell just after he celebrated Mass this morning (17 February).  He tells what he said in his homily this morning and why he doesn’t look forward to Lent.

You can listen to our podcast in the multimedia panel on the right.  Many of the children give their thoughts on what Ash Wednesday means to them.

Father Peter has a series of Lenten reflections taking place in St John's parish hall.  They begin at 12.30pm and last half an hour.  The theme is 'Faith Seeking Understanding'.  They begin next Monday (22 February) and run every week until 22 March.  All are welcome.

For Ash Wednesday last year cliftondiocese.com was at St Augustine of Canterbury School in Downend, Bristol and St Nicholas of Tolentino Church in inner-city Bristol.
