LENT 2023 RESOURCES

We begin Lent on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023 with Mass and Distribution of Ashes at 8:00 am and 5:30 pm; Prayer Service with Distribution of Ashes at 12:30 pm. In Lent we focus on the works of prayer, fasting and charitable giving. We have many opportunities to grow in relationship with Christ. Let’s ask ourselves, “Are we giving sufficient time to the highest priorities in our lives?” Take advantage of the many opportunities offered here. And more to come...as we prepare for Easter!
