An established favourite in the Minster calendar, the Lunchtime Lent Talks return again this year with five inspiring speakers sharing their insights and perspectives on the challenging subject of ‘Reconciliation’. There will be a free, simple lunch served before each talk, with donations to Christian Aid welcome.

Sister Patricia previously taught at the Bar Grammar School before moving to the Leeds Diocese to work with adults preparing for a life in religious ministry. She currently works as Novice Director – delivering training for women preparing to take religious vows.
