Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence; from the middle ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross.

St Catherine's, Port Erin

There is a growing and vibrant community of worshippers at St Catherine's Church, Port Erin. The church benefits from being able to seamlessly combine both contemporary worship (provided by a music group) and traditional forms of worship on the organ. During the Summer months the church organises weekly concerts given by local musicians and choirs with refreshments being provided in the Church Hall. Regular Sunday worship takes place at 11am. After each service refreshments are served at the back of the church.
