Lenten penance Service

TUESDAY, March 10, 7:00 PM                                                                                

Lent is an intense retreat, a forty-day period of reflection and penance that prepares us to celebrate the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. Making restitution for sin as well as disciplining our hearts and minds to focus on God is the purpose of penance. It helps us restore a sense of balance to our souls, thrown off kilter by sin. Penance includes personal sacrifice, self-denial, fasting, almsgiving and charitable works.

Parish Lenten Mission

Starting Sunday, March 15, 7:30 PM

Tuesday, March 16 & Wednesday, March 17-7:30 PM

During this year’s Lenten mission, Father Jay will delve into the earliest days of the Church to look into the teachings of the Apostles and the Church Fathers about the development of Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Through uniting ourselves in prayer with our ancient Church, we will see how their teachings have illuminated Christ’s love in helping us to enter more deeply into His Passion, Death, and Resurrection to this day.
