February 13th and 14th, 2021

Hello Faith Formation families,

Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday, February 17th. This day marks the start of Lent. The forty-day period symbolizes the time Jesus spent in the desert before he began his ministry. Lent comes from the Old English word Lencten, which means “spring”. Attend Mass to receive ashes and begin your Lenten journey as a family. Commit to Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Please check your family packet for your Lenten calendar and have your children color the “Alleluia” and “bury” it the decorated Pringles can. This week I will email home a simple prayer service you can do as a family. Beginning Ash Wednesday the students can begin their Lenten promises and color each day on their Lenten journey calendar.
