FEBRUARY:
Praying in Lent
We all know Lent is coming - but what does that mean for our prayer life?
 
And, what should I expect to see change in the parish and in this liturgical season?
 
This week, Sally Flask, Assistant Director of Liturgy, takes us through the 40 days of Lent and helps us prepare our homes for this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Watch Sally's video below to learn more.
 
FEBRUARY PRAYER CHALLENGE:
Pray with a
Devotional!
Lent begins on February 17, Ash Wednesday. Our parish offers two devotionals free to all parishioners: The Magnificat Lenten Companion and Bishop Barron's Lenten Gospel Reflections. This month, we encourage your family to pick a devotional and spend time together each day reading and praying. The Magnificat has a short reflection, prayer, and possible penance, while Bishop Barron's reflections focus on the Gospels from daily Mass and make connections to our practice of Lent. Choose whichever appeals most to your family, and get to praying! 
Morning Prayer
LIVE ON FACEBOOK
For those of you looking to find other structured ways to pray during Lent, we will be praying Morning Prayer on Facebook at 9:00 a.m. each morning during the first week of Lent (February 17-21).

We're happy to be your prayer companions as you start your Lenten journey!

“The Examen is a bit like a spiritual chiropractor, helping bring your desires into alignment with God’s will—and conversely, it helps bring your will into alignment with God’s desire.” (116)
