Lent 2024

Behold the Lamb of God

Worthy are you to receive the scroll
and to break open its seals,
for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God
those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.


You made them a kingdom and priests for our God,
and they will reign on earth

OTHER LENTEN RESOURCES

FORMED: Your source for great Catholic content. If you're new to Formed, visit Formed.org and enter zip code: 97034. Enjoy movie night with family and friends, discover the lives of saints, share children’s programs with your kids. For recommendations, check out the show "This Week on Formed."

 

33 Days to Eucharistic Glory: At critical times throughout Salvation History, God’s people have been invited to consecrate themselves. We are at one of those critical times in history, and consecrating ourselves, our families, our country, and indeed, the whole world to the Eucharist may make all the difference. This resource is from Dynamic Catholic, which also published Beautiful Eucharist.

 

This year, the DOGS (Disciples of God's Spirit) group and some of our other OLL small groups are going through this consecration together. There is also a children's version available (recommended for ages 7-12) if you want to do it as a family.

Hallow App: The Hallow app has daily Lenten prayer reflections and dozens of other prayer options. A highly-rated prayer app.

We encourage you to use this pre-recorded Way of the Cross video throughout Lent as a way to pray and meditate on the Scriptures.

Easter Environment Offerings

We invite you to make an offering in honor of your loved ones during the Easter season to benefit the environment of the Church. If you wish to participate, a gift may be made in any dollar amount 

  • electronically through online giving.
  • by check, mail to parish office or place in the offertory drop slot in the Narthex


When you make your donation, you are invited to make it “in memory of” or “in thanksgiving for” and include this in the online giving “memo” or writing it on the Easter offertory envelope which can be found in the Church Narthex. Please write clearly your intentions on the envelope. These names will be displayed in the bulletin the Sunday after Easter.


Your remembrance gifts at Easter make it possible for us to enhance the beauty of the Church at this most sacred time of year when we celebrate Christ’s resurrection. The cut-off date is Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. Thank you for supporting the adornment of the Church.
