The Holy Season of Lent began as our heads were marked with ashes, remembering that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Realizing again our weakness and mortality, we are exhorted by the Lord to turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel. It is in this spirit that the following schedule of devotions, events, and activities in our Parish this Lent is offered:
