Lent
40 Days to...

Lent is a solemn religious season that begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for forty days. It is a time for preparing believers for Baptism and for the baptized, a renewal to our baptism commitment. It is the Church’s annual retreat – a time-out – and often we add a spiritual practice to grow closer to God. What will you add this Lent?

The Corporal Works of Mercy 
These teachings of Jesus give us a model for how to treat others… as if we were Jesus in disguise. These are charitable acts that we can do. We are called to respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life, especially during Lent.
