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?
