    • Lent is our annual pilgrimage through the desert. This journey starts on Ash Wednesday when we receive ashes on our forehead as a reminder that we were made for more than this world. We celebrate eternal life with God– that which we were made for – at the end of this passage with the great and holy feast of Easter.

    • Bishop Barron's Lent Reflections

      • Saturday, April 1, 2023
        Saturday, April 1, 2023
        by Bishop Robert Barron
        Friends, in today’s Gospel, the chief priests and Pharisees unite in a plot to kill Jesus because he raised Lazarus from the dead.
  • Lenten Penance Services
    Lenten Penance Services
    Lent is the perfect time to reflect on how sin has done violence to your relationship with God and to reconcile that relationship through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Penance services are opportunities where multiple priests will be available to offer this sacrament of healing.

  • Frequently Asked Questions:

    • What is Lent?
      • Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It's a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ's will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ. (From the United States Confrence of Catholic Bishops)

    • When is Lent?
      • Wednesday, February 22nd through Thursday, April 6th

    • Why is Lent 40 days?
      • Our experience of Lent - especially in regard to fasting - is very much like Jesus' 40 days in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11). Just as Jesus was tempted to make other things (material goods, security, pride, etc.) his god, we become aware of such temptations in our life.
