Click here to see some things you can do for Lent

As we enter the Season of Lent, there are some things we may want to take advantage of in order to enter into the spirit of the season.  For instance, as a family you may want to have your family join you for one of these practices:

Reconciliation (Penance or Confession)
Stations of the Cross
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Praying a Family Rosary
Collecting money to help the poor
Volunteering at a local food pantry or soup kitchen
Volunteering to help your Religious Education team as a teacher, teacher's aid or hall monitor
Grocery shop for an elderly or sick neighbor
Visit an elderly or sick neighor
Cook a meal for a mom with a new baby
Read the bible as a family
Watch a movie about Jesus or one of the saints as a family

Have a discussion at the dinner table tonight and discuss what ways you may enter more fully into the Season.

Why do we make sacrifices during the Season of Lent?

• We are preparing for the Return of Our Lord.
• We unite ourselves with the poor
• We unite ourselves to Jesus' suffering and death on the cross

I am praying for you. Please pray for our catechists and volunteers.

In the Holy Name of Jesus, I pray
