Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Can you believe it's here already?
As you enter Lent, you and all parish leaders and staff are busy helping your parishioners turn their hearts toward the three pillars of this penitential season: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
These forty days are more than a change of liturgical color; they’re an invitation to real spiritual growth. And as a parish leader, you have the privilege of guiding your community toward practices that don’t just check a box, but truly shape disciples.
Prayer deepens our relationship with God. Fasting reorders our desires. And almsgiving — perhaps the most outward-facing of the three — calls us to live our faith in visible, generous love.
That’s where stewardship naturally comes in. When parishioners understand giving as part of their Lenten journey, not simply as a budget need, but as a spiritual response, generosity becomes an act of discipleship. A thoughtful invitation to give, especially paired with simple eGiving tools, can help your parish live out almsgiving in a consistent and meaningful way.
If you’re looking for encouragement and ideas throughout the season, be sure to follow ACST Catholic on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. We regularly share insights, resources, and reflections to support the important work you do every day.
Praying that this Lent brings renewal and grace to you and your parish community.
