Lent

Join us this Lent in deepening your discipleship and growing in your relationship with God.

Lent, culminating in Easter, is the most special season in the Christian calendar. Recalling the forty days and forty nights during which Jesus fasted in the desert and rejected Satan’s temptations - it is a time of preparation for celebrating his final victory at Easter in the glory of his cross and resurrection.

During this time the Cathedral forgoes flowers, decorations, Glorias and Alleluias over the forty days which remind us of the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, being tested by Satan. Lent gives us an opportunity to focus afresh on Jesus, to renew our discipleship and to struggle against all forms of sin, in ourselves, in society and in the Church.
