Dear Parish Families,

Lent is truly a blessed time of year. A time in which we prepare our heart, mind, and soul for the glorious Resurrection of our Savior.

We prepare ourselves during Lent in many ways, but three in particular: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. This Lent, here at Immaculate Conception, we are going to offer many prayer opportunities to help make your Lent be a very spiritual and enriching experience.

There will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with Benediction on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:00 pm. There will also be the opportunity to partake in the Sacrament of Reconciliation during this time. As usual, there will be the devotion of the Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 7:00 pm and an evening of Taize’ prayer Tuesday March 7 at 7:00 pm.

There will be a very special evening of prayer led by our very own Dannie Brzezinski on Tuesday March 21 at 7:00 pm. This will be a reflection on the Way of the Cross with the Blessed Virgin Mary. I am very much looking forward to this experience. There will also be Lenten reflections during Friday morning SoulCore classes at 11:30 am.

So often we can be tempted to think of Lent as something we must do, but it is so much more than that. Lent is a wonderful opportunity to take our faith to a deeper level, so start making your Lenten plan today! I am so glad our parish is here to help you with your Lenten Journey.

God Bless,

Fr. Anthony
