Holy Week Begins

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Fr Simon Devereux LC

We have now begun Holy Week. Here in Cheshire we will be living this time with greater recollection as we accompany Jesus in His passion. Know that we will be praying for you all. Please pray for us also and the men that will be visiting our seminary during these days. Wednesday, we will travel to New York City and spend the day on the streets praying with the passerbys and inviting them to experience God’s mercy in confession
