FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK: On the First Sunday of Lent, we begin our journey of forty days to the celebration of the Paschal Mystery. The days between Ash Wednesday and the first Sunday of Lent introduce us to the major themes of the season. Penance, prayer, fasting and almsgiving are really an integral part of our Christian life. The Scripture readings for the Masses on these days reflect this. CLICK TITLE TO READ MORE...
Formation Quiz: Lent, Fasting, and Penance - “Dear brothers and sisters, the ‘lenten’ period of forty days spent by the Son of God in the desert of creation had the goal of making it once more that garden of communion with God that it was before original sin (cf. Mk 1:12-13; Is 51:3). May our Lent this year be a journey along that same path, bringing the hope of Christ also to creation, so that it may be 'set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God’ (Rom 8:21). Let us not allow this season of grace to pass in vain! Let us ask God to help us set out on a path of true conversion.” – Pope Francis’ message for Lent 2019. CLICK TITLE FOR QUIZ
