  • Lent is a sacred season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—a time to turn our hearts more fully to God as we prepare for Easter. Whether you're looking for prayers, devotions, family activities, or ways to deepen your faith, this page offers a collection of resources to help you embrace the spiritual journey of Lent. 

    What is Lent?

    Lent is a 40-day period of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Thursday evening, transitioning into the Sacred Triduum. During this season, Catholics focus on conversion, repentance, and growing in their relationships with Christ. 

    Lenten Practices:

    • Prayer - Deepening our relationship with God through Scripture, meditation, and traditional devotions. 

    • Fasting - Offering sacrifices as a way to grow in self-discipline and reliance on God. 

    • Almsgiving - Sharing with those in need through charitable giving and acts of service. 

    Lenten Devotions & Resources:


    • Daily Scripture Readings 
    • Lenten Prayer Guide 
    • Stations of the Cross - Join us on Fridays during Lent at 6:00 pm or pray along at home.
    • Lenten Music
    • Recommended Books for Lent
    • Lenten Video Series

    Lent for Families:

    • Lenten Family Challenge - As a family give up screen time and find things to do together as a family instead
    • Lenten Activity Calendar
    • Lenten Crafts for Kids
    • Meatless Meal Recipes From Around the World

    Looking Ahead to Holy Week:

    The final days of Lent lead us into the Sacred Triduum - Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday -- where we walk with Christ in His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
