Fr Gaston Forbah Afah, Parish Priest for English Martyrs, Reading, and Episcopal Vicar For Evangelisation, has put together some resources to inspire and support people through Lent.
- Lent Retreat with Newman
- Good Habits
- The Metanoia Retreat
- We Dare to Ask: A Lenten Resource from the Archdiocese of Southwark.
