Our programme will be on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm at Our Lady and the Lancashire Martyrs beginning on 13th March (Ash Wednesday session will be skipped due to Mass).
There are 3 pillars for Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We begin each session with a simple supper of soup and bread (fast). Participants can make a donation to support CAFOD (almsgiving). The session will then begin with an opening prayer, a short presentation on a type of prayer used in Ignatian retreats (praying with Scripture, the Examen, centering prayer, ways to make a decision through a process of discernment etc). Then we will divide into groups (there will be a facilitator) to share something that appealed to us while we were praying with the materials for each day. The sessions will end with a closing prayer.
