The Catholic season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts until the Triduum (April 17-20); Evening of Holy Thursday - Evening of Easter Sunday.

The observance of Lent is a period of fasting, prayer, and penitence that lasts a total of forty (40) days and serves to prepare the Catholic Faithful for the celebration of Easter Sunday. The time frame of forty (40) days is significant as it represents the forty days of fasting and temptation that Jesus experienced in the desert.

Below, we have included some of the Lenten offerings that will take place at Saint Dominic School.

Join us as we walk the Stations of the Cross, a beautiful Lenten devotion of our Catholic tradition. Pray the Stations with us and experience Christ's great love.
