Happy Lent! Ash Wednesday Liturgy was a beautiful entry to this important church season. "What Wondrous Love" is the theme of our service projects, prayer and discussions throughout these 40 days. Thank you, 3rd graders, for leading us in prayer. There are many resources and events throughout Lent going on in the parish. Visit our website and find out how you can "live your Lent."
