An ancient tradition of the Church in Lent is “Station Masses” – the word “station” might bring railways to mind,

and this is not far off the idea! As we journey through Lent, we call at “stations” – churches in our Deanery

where people from all our parishes can come together to be encouraged as we travel through this holy season.

This year we have four Masses, and a very special final celebration: Bishop John will lead us in a Reconciliation Service,

with the opportunity for individual confession with our Deanery priests.

Refreshments will be served after each Station and everyone is very welcome.

THE DATES AND LOCATIONS OF OUR LENTEN STATIONS THIS YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS:



                 —Thursday 7th March 7pm at Guardian Angels, Bury

                 —Thursday 14th March 7pm at Saint Michael, Whitefield
