meet other young people with similar interests from a

activities and social outreach. If you already have a
strong faith, this is a chance to deepen it. If you are full
of questions and doubts, this is a chance to share them
and search for some honest answers about life and faith.
Everyone is welcome. To find your local Chaplaincy, and

PRAYER The Jesuits run a very useful website called
“Sacred Space”, which gives a prayer for each day and
a simple method of meditation. Could be useful for
those few spare minutes you may have at lunchtime:
www.sacredspace.ie
EACH FRIDAY (excepting solemnities) is set aside as a special day of penitence. The Bishops of England & Wales have decided to re-establish the practice that this penance should be fulfilled simply by abstaining from meat and by uniting this to prayer. Those who cannot or choose not to eat meat as part of their normal diet should abstain from some other food of which they regularly partake. HEALTH & SAFETY TIP Lighting a candle is a symbol of our prayer and a way of extending it when we can no longer be there. But, please place lighted candles only in the sockets provided. If there isn’t room, leave your unlit votive candle on the tray beneath the lighted candles. It will be lit for you. It will be lit for you when there is space.
