A SUCCESSION OF FEAST DAYS:

For us, as Redemptorists, these few days provide a real Lenten challenge, because we have three major Feast Days in quick succession. Firstly, we are celebrating this weekend (Saturday) the Feast of our second Founder, St Clement Hofbauer. Monday is the Feast of St Patrick, the Patron of Ireland, and Wednesday is Feast of St Joseph. We beg the intercession of them all as we seek to deepen our commitment to Christ during this Lenten Season and as we strive to respond to the invitation of Pope Francis to sanctify this Jubilee Year as Pilgrims of/in Hope.
