Lent

The season of Lent is the 40 days leading up to Easter, beginning with Ash Wednesday. During Lent we focus on the practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It is a penitential time as we prepare our hearts to be able to fully celebrate the Resurrection.
On February 26th, Ash Wednesday, Lent begins. We mark our foreheads with ashes as a reminder to repent and turn to God.
Ash Wednesday Masses, February 26th

FASTING & ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday & Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting & abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. Fasting is obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat 1 full meal, as well as 2 smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding from age 14 onwards.

The Stations of the Cross mark the journey of Jesus to the Cross and provide the opportunity for us to reflect on our own faith journey. Using music, shared prayer, times of quiet, and reflections by parishioners, the Stations of the Cross are a great way to ground your weeks during Lent.

You can't grow in a relationship with someone without spending time with them. The same is true for our relationship with Jesus. Take time this Lent getting to know Jesus through the stories of Scripture. Come to all or just one of these casual gatherings to spend time with others who want to know Jesus better too.
