The Season of Lent

Ash Wednesday signifies the beginning of the season of Lent – an important and sacred time for Catholics and Christians around the world.

Lent is a 40 day season (not counting Sundays) marked by repentance, fasting and reflection, ending with the celebration of Easter Sunday. The 40 days recall Christ’s time in the wilderness, where he fasted and was tempted.

As we begin this season together, we wish everyone observing Lent a peaceful and reflective period ahead.
