Lent 2022: Seek Him, Love Him, Follow Him
Lent is a time of seeking Jesus.
As we seek Him, our hearts open to love Him.
When we love Him, we are not only called, but we also desire, to follow Him.
Every year we have a Lenten Project - this year we will be donating to Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl. Pick up your Rice Bowl at Church and let us grow our community by learning more about our brothers and sisters in Guatemala, Bangladesh and Rwanda this year!
Come to the Stations of the Cross (specific CRS Stations) and Soup Suppers (using recipes from around the world) on Friday, March 18 and again on Friday, April 1. Stations start at 5:30pm.
Use the calendar with your Rice Bowl with your family to learn, to give, and to be inspired.
Check out some new recipes from around the world.
