Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and giving in preparation for the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. During this time, we renew our efforts in prayer, penance, and giving.
As we enter the sacred season of Lent, we invite you to embark on a transformative journey of renewal — a spiritual pilgrimage that transcends the ordinary and leads us to the extraordinary. This Lenten season is an opportunity to delve deep into the recesses of our hearts, minds, and spirits, seeking a profound renewal that echoes the timeless themes of repentance, self-examination, and sacrificial love. In the next 40 days, let us intentionally and prayerfully navigate this path of self-discovery and spiritual growth, allowing God's grace to transform us into vessels of compassion, humility, and love. Join us on this sacred expedition, as we journey together toward a renewed sense of purpose, connection with the divine, and a profound transformation that extends beyond this season into the very fabric of our lives.
We invite you and your family to join us in the following opportunities to observe Lent.
