2 This month in The Window...


...we celebrate two events, one sacred, one secu- lar, as part of the St Michael's 150 celebration.


Andrew Colborne writes about the history of St David and more recent commemorations of his


feast day which falls this month. March 1 is also Ash Wednesday this year; next month The Win- dow will give details of services and events lead- ing up to Easter, as well as details of the Annual District and Parochial Church Meetings.


News from the Parish


The clergy team had a Quiet Day on 2 February at St Mary's Convent in Wantage. Appropriately for the Feast of Candlemas, this icon was in the Mary Magdalen chapel. Candlemas is the foundation feast for the sisters of the Com- munity, which next year celebrates their 170th anniversary. The convent is a lovely setting for individual and group retreats and quiet days and meetings; contact guestwing@csmv.co.uk
