 What is Lent?

During Lent, we are asked to devote ourselves to seeking the Lord in prayer and reading Scripture, to service by giving alms, and to sacrifice self-control through fasting.

Lent lasts for 40 days — excluding Sundays — from Ash Wednesday to the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, which this year falls on April 17th. It is a reminder of Christ’s 40 days of temptation and fasting in the desert, and of Israel’s 40 years of wandering in the desert.

This penitential season of fasting, alms-giving, and special prayer is like a spiritual cleansing and renewal to draw closer to God.

The next Lunch Bunch will be at noon on Friday, March 21^th at Bob Evan’s Restaurant. Everyone is welcome to join in the food and chit chat. Contact Linda Tokarski at 810-985-4670 for more information.

The Council and parish will be praying the Rosary on Sunday, March 30^th after the 8:30am Mass.

Stay a little longer after Mass and join the parish in prayer.
