LENT
During this holy season, the church enters the wilderness with our Lord. He goes there to do battle with the evil one. We go to be transformed by his victory.
​
The Opening Prayer of Ash Wednesday Mass puts it this way, ​"Grant, O Lord, that we may begin with holy fasting this campaign of Christian service, so that, as we take up battle against spiritual evils, we may be armed with weapons of self-restraint."
​
Let us pray for one another during this holy season that our prayers, fasting, and good works may lead to true conversion of heart and a deeper love for Jesus.
Come join us on Mondays for the Don Bosco After-School Program! Here, middle school youth (grades 6–8) are invited to discover the joy that comes from games, growing in friendship, and living our Catholic faith. Inspired by St. John Bosco’s love for young people, this program offers a safe and welcoming space to laugh, learn, and walk with Christ together.
