Lent is the 40-day season of preparation for Easter that ends on Holy Thursday, three days before Easter Sunday. During Lent, Catholics recall their baptism and do penance through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as they commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ. It is a time to become closer to God, to remove distractions and to sharpen our focus so that we might better know God and become more loving in the world, in the classroom, on the job, and in our own homes.
These 40 days of Lent, we encourage students, staff and families to participate in our daily activities and prayer.
