Lenten Opportunities and Service Schedule |
|
Social Justice Lenten Project
During the February Sundays of Lent, our community was still honoring Black History Month. In March, we transition our Social Justice focus to more local concerns, specifically, injustices towards immigrants and indigenous peoples.
The Social Justice Ministry is asking the community to make donations in support of Casa De Paz in Denver, CO.
Casa de Paz began in 2012 as a small, one-bedroom apartment offering hospitality to families separated by immigrant detention. Today, Casa de Paz provides visits, shelter, meals, transportation and emotional support. Since 2012, Casa de Paz has hosted over 3000 immigrants from 70 countries.
|
|
Please make our you donation checks to Mary of Magdala with 'Casa de Paz Lenten Project' on the memo line. Although, you can always give directly to Casa de Paz, donating through Mary of Magdala allows us to more easily track our community’s gift.
Thank you for your support
in this project.

Stations of the Cross - Adopt a Poster
Last year we began fourteen Stations of the Cross which we were going to use during Holy Week. Then the pandemic hit.
We invite members to adopt a poster to complete coloring and decorating so we can display them at our outdoor prayer time on Good Friday. Each congregation of the 301 Faith Partners has been given a few. You can paint, create a collage, use crayons or markers. Make it a family project if you’d like, or a personal meditation.
If you are interested, please email us at Mary of Magdala to arrange a pick up time.
