During Lent each year the Diocese of Ossory offers many training evenings, reflections, talks so that you can plan to incorporate some of these into parish plans for Lent. Also during Lent the Diocese of Ossory offers a course of preparation during Lent for those who are to be commissioned as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist.
Information will follow of any courses that will be available.

As we are prepare to welcome back the season of Lent into the life of our parishes, we remember that every Lent offers us a precious opportunity to deepen and increase our faith.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.
Lent is our annual retreat when we are each called to prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In Lent we have a ready-made programme of renewal – if we just pay attention to its many invitations to us.
