SAINT SAVIOUR'S SMALLTHORnE
Living Lent
Lent is that time of year when we prepare ourselves for the celebration of the greatest of the greatest events in human history: the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. During Lent please do join us for any of our services and devotions.
Fr Andrew is available throughout Lent to hear confessions or offer spiritual guidance.
