Lent is an important season of preparation for Easter, and for our personal, spiritual growth. We hope we can support you and resource you to make the most of this year’s season of Lent.

Lent at St. Martin in the Bull RingAsh Wednesday

There will be two services of Holy Communion – with the option to receive the imposition of ashes – at both 12.30pm and then again at 7pm. We really do hope you will be able to join us for one or the other service. Please do come and use the opportunity to start Lent with a purpose.
