PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY DOOR
2025-03-22 09:00 - 17:00 | RESSURECTION GARDENS
“Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year; the name comes from the instrument used to mark its launch. In this case, the instrument in question is the yobel, the ram’s horn, used to proclaim the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). This (Jewish) holiday occurs every year, but it takes on special significance when it marks the beginning of a Jubilee year. We can find an early indication of it in the Bible: a Jubilee year was to be marked every 50 years, since this would be an “extra” year, one which would happen every seven weeks of seven years, i.e., every 49 years (cf. Leviticus 25:8-13). Even though it wasn’t easy to organise, it was intended to be marked as a time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, and involved the forgiveness of debts, the return of misappropriated land, and a fallow period for the fields.

MASS FOR THE SICK 2026
2026-02-15 14:00 - 16:00 | MAIN CHURCH

ASH WEDNESDAY
2026-02-18 | MAIN CHURCH
What is the purpose of Ash Wednesday?

Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, the 40 days of fasting and penance that culminate in Easter Sunday.

What is the purpose of ashes on the forehead?

On Ash Wednesday, you can get your forehead blessed with ashes at Mass or a prayer service. These ashes are a reminder that we need to repent. Repentance is a powerful invitation. When John the Baptist first appeared in the desert of Judea, this was his message: “Repent, prepare the way of the Lord” (Matthew 3:2).
