- PILGRIM CROSS 2026. Claire Robinson writes:
On Monday, 30th March, Framlingham will again host a group of around twenty-five pilgrims, of mixed Christian affiliations, carrying a heavy wooden cross on their 120-mile Holy Week pilgrimage from Colchester to Walsingham. Kind hosts are sought to meet them at the United Free Church in central Framlingham on arrival (usually around 5 p.m.), take them home for dinner and a bath or shower, and return them to the United Free Church where they will sleep on the floor! Could this be you? If anyone is able to offer to look after more than one pilgrim this also works well. We are also looking for helpers to cook and serve a hearty breakfast on Tuesday, 31st March, (7 to 9 a.m.) at the United Free Church before joining the pilgrims in a short service and then seeing them on their way. Hosts and helpers are always very welcome to join in the worship (prayers, readings, singing) that forms part of the pilgrims’ visit. If you are able to help, please contact Claire Robinson: ip13claire@gmail.com
Please pray for the sick and those in need; for all the residents in senior-living facilities within the parish and those who care for them; for the happy repose of the souls of the Faithful Departed; for those who have died recently and for those whose anniversaries fall at this time; for peace in the world; and for vocations to the priesthood, to the diaconate, and to the religious orders of the Church.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.
- THE eucharistic fast.
Since November 1964 the Eucharistic fast has been reduced to one hour. This means that food and drink may always be taken up to one hour before the time of receiving Holy Communion. Water does not break the fast and so may be taken at any time before receiving Holy Communion.
The Canon Law of the Catholic Church indicates that no period of fasting, before receiving Holy Communion, is required for those who are sick (Canon 919.3). Members of the Church who are looking after the sick, and wishing to receive Holy Communion with them, whenever they are unable to observe the fast without inconvenience may receive Holy Communion.
CAFOD's Lent Fast Day. 
This Lent, live the Gospel call to love your neighbour. By fasting and giving what you save, you can help another family put food on the table. Your donation to CAFOD can help families around the world grow food in challenging conditions. Donate online at cafod.org.uk/envelope or call 0303 303 3030. Text CAFODLENT to 70085 to donate £10 writes Jane Crone.
- SAFEGUARDING.
Children should always be accompanied by their parent/guardian when they visit the toilets at the church.
