It&#8217;s a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord&#8217;s Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through\u00a0fasting.<\/p>\n<p>If not for the global pandemic, we would have been in school today and each year group would have had the opportunity to come together for a service to receive their ashes.<\/p>\n<p>Canon Stephen Bailie has recorded a service which families can use at home.
