Water, Light, and Life: A Lenten Parish Mission
Mondays in March from 6:30-8:30 PM in Brioschi Hall
The Adult Faith Formation Committee is preparing for and planning this year’s Lenten mission, Water, Light, and Life. During this parish mission, we will encounter, along with Jesus, the Samaritan woman at the well, the man born blind, and his friends Lazarus, Martha, and Mary. Our prayerful encounter with these Scripture stories invites each of us to consider the need for conversion of heart and the new life we gained in Christ through baptism. Come join us! View the flyer.
Register ahead to help us prepare materials. For more information, contact Kim Roering in the parish office.

Fasting & Abstinence
Fasting: On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics between the ages of 18 - 59 are allowed only one full meal. Two smaller meals are allowed as needed, but solid foods between meals is not permitted. Those excused from fasting and abstinence include the physically and mentally ill and pregnant or nursing women.
Abstinence: Catholics 14 years or older are to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and the Fridays of Lent.
Alternatives to fasting from food include fasting from television, social media, complaining, or getting in the last word. Other alternatives to fasting include being cheerful, giving compliments to people, refraining from our favorite foods, or getting up a little earlier than usual for spiritual reading or prayer.
Lenten Resources
Online Lent Retreat 2023
The Way of Ignatius Loyola (from Sacred Space Jesuit Ministries)
First offered in 2019, this retreat offers a chance to take a step back from the pressure of daily life, to reflect prayerfully on the current state of your relationships: with God, with the people around you, and with the world.
The season of Lent, during which we prepare to celebrate the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ at Easter, is a great opportunity to make such a retreat.
