Celebrating the Season of Lent
This season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to celebrating Jesus Christ’s Resurrection at Easter. There are many opportunities for you to participate:
  • Our website has a variety of resources, including fasting and abstinence guidelines, a variety of prayer resources, and schedule of upcoming events. [See insert latest bulletin]
  • Join us for our Lenten Communal Reconciliation services on Saturday, Mar 18, 10:00 am or Wednesday, Mar 22, 7:00 pm
  • Pick up one of the “Little Black Booklets” that provides daily reflections during this holy season based on the Scriptures. It is a great resource to enrich your prayer life during this holy season. If possible, a small donation of $5 to help offset the cost would be greatly appreciated. Available in the church vestibule or parish office.
