HOLY WEEK SCHEDULES

You’re Invited to Our Prayer Challenge… Announcing this year’s Lent Pray40 theme … THE RETURN! Join us on a journey back home to the Lord – no matter our sins, no matter our struggles, no matter how far we’ve strayed away. Just as we’ll see through the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we’re all farther away from God than we need to be…but the good news is God is always waiting for us with open arms, running out to us while we are still a long way off.

Adult formation with Fr. Healey on Sundays from 9:30 to 10:20 and Sunday afternoons from 4:15 to 5:15 ~ Place and topic to be decided.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION (Confessions)

Shrove Tuesday, February 17th, 2:30 to 5:30 PM and Monday, March 3oth, 2:30 to 5:30 PM

Fasting Guidelines

All are asked to fast (one main meal only) on Ash Wednesday, February 18th and Good Friday, April 3rd. Fasting at other times is recommended but left to each person to decide. We are expected to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent.

When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

Lent with Padre Pio

Living Lent Daily

This Lent, foster a daily practice of spiritual calm where God is at the center. Living Lent Daily is a daily e-mail series delivering fresh reflections based on the Scriptures of Lent. Each day’s message includes a quotation from the day’s Scripture readings and a brief reflection to spur meditation, prayer, and self-examination.

The messages also include suggestions for further exploration of Lenten themes through additional online articles and prayers.

Ignation Prayer Adventure

This is an adapted version of the Spiritual Exercises. Materials are modified from the longer retreat in The Ignatian Adventure by Kevin O’Brien, SJ.

The eight-week schedule makes it perfectly timed as a Lent and Easter retreat, but the adventure can be started at any time, on your schedule. Join in a flexible experience of daily prayer and reflection. Choose to commit to a regular period of prayer each day, or start with only one day a week. Use as much or as little of the material as helps you in your Lenten journey.

Online Retreat

This Lent, become a spiritual athlete and join Tim for The Ignatian Workout for Lent. Each Monday he’ll share audio reflections accompanied by suggestions for prayer and action. Based on the book of the same name, the online retreat begins the week of Ash Wednesday and continues through Easter Week.

Sacred Space

Sacred Space is inspired by the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a sixteenth-century Basque, whose insights into God’s working with the human heart have been of great assistance to countless people over the centuries and are found more helpful than ever today.

Sacred Space is a joint apostolate of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus – the Jesuits, and Loyola Press. The site originated in the offices of the Jesuit Communication Centre in Ireland in 1999.
