As we enter into the liturgical season of Lent, the church around us changes. Songs become more somber, the priest and deacons wear different colored robes, and Mass parts change. But how does this help us enter into Lent? Let’s dive into this with Bishop Barron's video.
What is the most important change during Lent for you?
What stands out to you and why?

Stations of the Cross will be outside on the front lawn near the flag poles this year. You can pray the Stations of the Cross with Fr. Vu on Fridays during Lent after the 9:00am Mass. You can also come pray on your own during daylight hours. Various worship aids are available on our parish website, which you can access on your phone.
Thank You!
We are grateful for Don Bornhoeft for the carpentry of our beautiful new Stations of the Cross; the LeFohn Family for sealing the wood; Julia Ollestad, Kyler Fornes, Tecson Family, Bill and Parker Bredice, Greg Nolan, Glenn Rollman, Jim Dowling, Mike Myette, Nelson Amoranto, and Joe Byrne for getting them in the ground; and Ron Smith for renting the post hole digger that saved everyone hours of work. Another big thank you to everyone who participated in creating the worship aids! A community effort and labor of love! God bless you all for sharing your time and talent.
