Lent 2014

Today of course is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40 day season of Lent.  Lent is really a period of time to prepare to mark the resurrection of Jesus at Easter and to ultimately prepare for our own resurrection (God willing).  We will have daily opportunities to celebrate Lent and to practice its three pillars: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.  All are invited to take part:
