Have a transformational Lent
8 tips to celebrate Lent
We are sharing some ideas and activities that can help us together, as a community, to have a transformational Lent.
01
Develop a lenten spiritual plan
Lent is not only about giving up; we should also start doing something. Develop a Lenten spiritual plan that includes the three main means of Lent: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving.
02
Read the Gospel of Matthew
During the next two years, we would like to read together the Four Gospels. See the attached calendar that can help you keep track of this reading.
Lent is a good time to make a good confession
We wrote a brochure about confession that can help you improve your confession practice. Our Lenten Reconciliation Service will be on Wed. March 11 at 6:30pm @ St Michael

Pray Stations of the Cross
Starting Friday February 20 at 6pm, every Friday of Lent at St Michael we will pray stations of the cross and then have soup together at the parish hall.
