SAFEGUARDING

Solihull Parish warmly invites each of us to journey through Lent together. This begins on Ash Wednesday with services throughout the day across the parish. Further information can be found by clicking the image.
By clicking the image please find details of Palm Sunday, Easter Day, and the various special services during Holy Week which lie between.
The aim of each is to draw us into the story surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus, so deepening our personal faith and appreciation of the cross which stands at the centre of our Christian faith.
