Hello everyone,

We have tried to leave this as late as possible to see what the situation would be but unfortunately it is not good news. The on campus mass as well as the discussion afterwards will not be taking place today. This is of course because of the possible health risks to both the priest and our society members thanks to COVID-19.

We hope you can understand and that you all are well.

Stay safe and God bless,

Cathsoc Committee

Saint David's Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March, the date of Saint David's death in 589 AD.

✨ TODAY IS ASH WEDNESDAY ✨

🙏🏼 Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer and fasting. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter.

✝️ Ash Wednesday derives its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of participants to either the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or the dictum "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

⛪️ Mass at Holy Cross Priory Church is at 6:10pm (with distribution of ashes)
