• Lenten Schedule: Be sure to check the parish website or bulletin for our full Lenten schedule, including Mass times, Stations of the Cross, and Confession opportunities.
• Stations of the Cross: Join us every Friday during Lent for the Stations of the Cross. This prayer devotion invites us to reflect on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Stations of the Cross are held in English at 5:00 PM and in Spanish at 6:30 PM.
• Confession Times: Extra times for Confession are available during Lent to help you experience the healing grace of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is offered every Thursday and Friday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the church. Please check the website or bulletin for additional dates and times.
• Almsgiving Opportunities: We encourage parishioners to participate in our Lenten almsgiving initiatives, such as supporting local charities and outreach programs. Your generosity helps provide for those in need in our community. One example is the Knights of Columbus' 40 Cans for Lent campaign, which is a wonderful way to support those in need. To serve or give, consider volunteering your time, talents, or supporting a service project at one of our parish ministries. 

• Set Personal Goals: Consider areas of your spiritual life where you would like to grow. Whether it’s prayer, acts of charity, or personal sacrifices, setting meaningful goals can deepen your Lenten experience.

• Participate in Parish Events: Join us for special Lenten activities such as Stations of the Cross, retreats, and Confession services. These events help us grow together as a faith community during this holy season.

• Serve Others: Volunteer your time or make a donation to local charities to help those in need. Small acts of kindness can have a significant impact on others and bring us closer to Christ.

• Stay Focused on Christ: Throughout Lent, keep your eyes on the ultimate goal—drawing closer to Jesus. Take time to reflect on His Passion and Resurrection, allowing His love to transform your heart.
