Pray | Fast | Give
February 14 through March 28
Lent is a solemn religious season that begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days. It is a time for preparing new believers for Baptism, and for the baptized to renew our commitment. It is the Church’s annual retreat, a time-out when we often add a spiritual practice to grow closer to God. What are you doing for Lent?
