A worship service to mark the beginning of Lent. Includes prayer, communion, singing and opportunity to receive an ash cross on your forehead as a sign of sorrow and turning back to God.

If you’ve recently joined St. Catharine’s, you are invited to come along for a welcome tea to hear about the many ways you can connect with others and to get to know some of the people who are part of the church.

Let's roll up our sleeves, grab a cloth and join in with the big church clean! Please come along for however long you are able to. Cleaning products provided. Bring your own rubber gloves!

For those who are able to stay until 12 noon a reward of a pizza lunch will be provided (optional pineapple!).

For Lent 2026, Riding Lights Theatre Company presents Night Falls, a new passion play by Paul Birch.

...vivid and contemporary, with moments of high drama...
(The Narrow Road) Church Times.

Four final days before an execution that will change everything.
Three enemies that want to put an end to the so-called Messiah.
Two strangers torn between faith and doubt, hope and grief, 
trying to prevent Jesus of Nazareth from getting himself arrested. 
One safe house in Bethany. 
 
The hours are running out, but even as night falls, a strange hope is wrapped in a secret that both strangers share. For this is the house of Lazarus, and under his roof, the impossible has already occurred…
 
Night Falls is a fresh and dynamic retelling of the Easter story, blending music and powerful drama alongside space for reflection and worship. 

Join us at St Catharine's Gloucester on the 18th March at 19:00
