Make the Most of Lent

Are you looking to do more this Lent beyond giving something up? If whatever you give up makes more room in your life for God, then let’s be intentional about dedicating that space for God.

Sacred Heart has several ways you can get involved during this Lenten season, and we encourage you to join us in one or more of the suggestions below. Happy Lenten journey!

There are also two wonderful Lenten program offered through our parish subscription to Formed.org.  Consider using one of these in your daily life, a small Lenten group, or with your family.

Formed: A Lent to Remember
A Lent to Remember explores the ways God reaches out to each of us with his mercy. Through Christ’s suffering on the cross in the Paschal Mystery and his perpetual reception of his people in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God makes his love, his very self, present to us in the world. By reflecting on the Paschal Mystery and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite of Confession, A Lent to Remember communicates God’s invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love this Lent.  Access here.

Formed: Forgiven
Forgiven explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty of God’s love. By looking at God’s revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven communicates God’s invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Access here.

And here at Sacred Heart, we have our own Lenten traditions that we would love for you to be a part of this year.

Soup Suppers & Stations of the Cross
Every Friday night during Lent, come join us in the St. Francis Hall for Soup Suppers followed by Stations of the Cross. The Soup Supper begins at 6:30 pm and Stations of the Cross start at 7:30 pm in the church.
