What are the pillars of Lent?
The three categories listed in the buttons above - prayer, fasting, and almsgiving - are known as the pillars of Lent, and those three practices form the foundation for our Lenten preparations for Easter. Click each button to see how our parish can help you and your family live each pillar!
From the USCCB:Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It's a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ's will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ.
