Lent is not meant to be lived alone. It is a season of honest reflection, renewed trust in God, and courageous steps forward in faith. This year, our parish family is invited to enter that journey together in a meaningful and deeply relevant way.

Spend an hour with the Lord in Eucharistic prayer and take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is a personal encounter with the mercy of Jesus Christ where sins are forgiven, hearts are healed, and grace is restored.
How to make a good Confession:
Confessions are also heard every Saturday at Lourdes from 3:00–3:45pm.
Return to the Lord this Lent. His mercy is waiting.
Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. One of the most powerful ways to deepen your prayer this Lent is by attending Daily Mass. Even one additional Mass during the week can strengthen your relationship with Christ and anchor your day in grace.
At Mass, we are nourished by the Word of God and the Holy Eucharist the true Body and Blood of Jesus. | Daily Mass is quieter, more intimate, and a beautiful way to grow in devotion during this sacred season.
Rosary is prayed at 7:45am on weekdays, immediately before the 8:15am Masses. Consider choosing one extra day each week to join us. Give the Lord a little more time this Lent and allow Him to give you even more grace in return.
Lent invites us to slow down.
To walk with Jesus.
To place our lives alongside His Cross.
The Stations of the Cross lead us step by step through the final journey of Jesus from His condemnation, to His suffering, to His death and burial.
As we move from station to station, we
remember that Christ did not suffer from a
distance.
He entered fully into human pain, weakness,
and love for us.
Each station offers a moment to pause.
To pray.
To reflect.
To unite our own struggles, griefs, and hopes
with the saving love of Christ.
Whether you have prayed the Stations for years, or have never attended before, this simple and powerful devotion is a beautiful way to enter more deeply into the season of Lent.
Come for one Friday.
Come for many.
Come as you are.
Let this prayer help prepare your heart for the saving mystery of the Cross and the joy of Easter.
