Ongoing Education

Life After Lent

Although the 40-day liturgical season of fasting, special prayer and almsgiving in preparation for Easter is coming to a close, there are many ways one can continue Lent's spiritual advances after Easter.

Here are five ideas on how to live a more meaningful life after Lent:

1. Slow down. Set aside 10 minutes a day for silent prayer or meditation; this can revitalize your body and your spirit.

2. Read a good book. Spiritual reading materials can be found in our church's the Adoration Book Corner located next to Our Lady of Mercy Chapel, the book rack in the Commons Area and the Notre Dame Shop.

3. Get involved. Attend an upcoming event at St. Anne Church, or volunteer to help one of our parish's many ministries.

4. Reach out. Invite an inactive Catholic to come back to the Church.

5. Clean out closets. Donate gently-used items to St. Anne Outreach.
