Lent Resources
Lent is a time of preparing for Easter and the Paschal Mystery through the sacraments, almsgiving, fasting, and prayer.
During this time of preparation, families can set extra time (2 to 5 minutes) aside for prayer for those who are homeless, struggling financially, hungry, who have asked for our prayers, lonely, etc.
