Caritas Finland’s Lenten Collection supports the livelihoods and food security of nomadic women in the province of Turkana, Kenya. The region is one of the poorest in Kenya and the threat of famine is constantly present. We can donate via Caritas web page (caritas.fi), directly to Caritas bank account or to the donation box in the church.

There will be a meeting for the parents of the First Communion children on the next Saturday 9.4 at 10.40 am in the church.

Next Sunday is the Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. On Palm Sunday we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The blessing of the palm branches will take place at 10.00 in front of the English school, followed by a joyful procession to the church and the Mass. You are welcome to bring your own palm or other branches to be blessed. There will be no Stations of the Cross devotion before the Mass and no Family Mass at 11.30 next Sunday.
