Weekly Lenten Celebration

Lent is a sacred season of renewal, calling us to deepen our relationship with Christ through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. As we journey towards Easter, we are invited to reflect on our faith, embrace sacrifice with purpose, and open our hearts to God’s grace.

This year, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, 5 March 2025, and as we walk this path together, we do so with our SMCDSB theme for 2024-25 in mind: Faithful Steps, Hopeful Journeys.

Lent challenges us to take each step with intention—turning towards God, finding strength in our faith, and drawing closer as a community united in hope.

Don't forget to go to the Virtual Chapel for additional prayers.
