Lenten Calendar 2012: Returned to Ourselves

In Lent, in autumn, we have another opportunity to be ‘returned to ourselves.’ It’s a beautiful way of saying what we’re about in Lent. The 43 daily reflections in the calendar aim to assist us in this. Each of them consists of an image and a briefparagraph that concludes with a quote from the scripture of the day. The Lenten Calendar complements any Lenten program you may have running in your parish.

Ministers of the Eucharist | Childrens Liturgy | Readers

These three brochures offer guidance and support for those involved in Eucharistic ministry, Childrens Liturgy and Readers/Lectors of the Word. Hard copies of these brochures will be sent to all parishes and are available from the Archbishop's Office for Evangelisation.
