On the first Tuesday of each month our Parish has Vitamin F (F=Faith!), a time of Faith Nourishment - because we recognize that one never graduates from faith! Last week (on March 1st) was a time of preparation for Lent.

We should never see this season of the church year in isolation. The Lenten Disciplines of Prayer Fasting & Almsgiving allow us to prepare for the great feast of Easter.
When we consider what type of Lenten Discipline we will take up this year, perhaps the question we should ask ourselves is:"How will this practice better prepare me to renew my Baptismal Promises?"
Peace to you and your families as we begin this "joyful" season of Lent - a Time of Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving that will help make us ready to renew the promises made in our Baptism!
