Wednesday 18th February is Ash Wednesday, and marks the beginning of Lent. While not a Holy Day of Obligation, Ash Wednesday is a day of Fast and Abstinence.

Mass will be celebrated at 10am in both Holy Trinity and St. Paul’s Ayrfield. Blessed ashes will be distributed at both Masses.

Mass will also be celebrated at 7pm in Holy Trinity as part of the Lenten programme of Wednesday evening reflections.
