We invite you all to accompany us on our Journey Through Lent, by getting involved in Acts of Kindness. This is our parish-wide initiative to reflect the heart of Jesus through simple, everyday acts of kindness. As we follow the path from Ash Wednesday to Calvary, we will have a different theme each week and will share ideas on how to practice kindness, generosity and service, along with a related quote from scripture and a simple prayer.
