Clent Parish Church
St. Leonard’s is a pretty, rural church, set below the south flank of Clent and Walton Hills, in the north of the county of Worcestershire. We are part of the Stourbridge Deanery of churches in the Diocese of Worcester. Clent was formerly part of the United Benefice of Clent & Belbroughton with Fairfield. Recent re-organisation affiliates St. Leonard with the neighbouring churches of St. John and St. Saviour in Hagley, all under the guidance of Rev. Richard Newton. We meet for worship every Sunday morning. We would be delighted if you would join us. St. Leonard’s has an ‘open-door’ policy and so is open to all from 8 am to 8 pm - for private prayer and personal contemplation. Bibles (New International Version) are in all pews. A weekly ‘Update’ (free) and the monthly Parish Magazine (modest charge) are available within the building. Many ramblers over the Clent Hills enjoy a break and respite on the premises.“Come unto me all who travail and are heavy laden,
and I will refresh you.“
Our address is: St. Leonard’s Square, Church Avenue, Clent. Our postcode is: DY9 9PN Google map of our location . Please note: there is no access off the A491 dual-carriageway. You will need to use the (old) Bromsgrove Road. The toilet has baby-changing facilities. Our grounds and building (and toilet) accommodate Disabled Access - though the interior is on two distinct levels and requires re-location via the outside. We have recently installed two disabled car parking bays in the churchyard .. approach via Vine Lane. ________________________________________

CANDLEMAS (also spelt Candlemass - although that is also a Swedish ‘doom- metal’ group) is also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, & is a Christian Holy Day commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the Temple - that early episode in the life of Jesus, describing his presentation at the Temple in Jerusalem in order to officially induct him into Judaism; regarded by the Catholic church as the fourth ‘Joyful Mystery’ of the Rosary.LENT
This year. Lent lasts from Wed. 26th Feb. to Thursday 9th April 2020. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is often marked by fasting or choosing to abstain from something.
