Celebrate Lent by devoting oneself to prayer, Scripture readings, and giving to others as an act of holy virtue. Often holiday traditions can get mixed into the heart of celebrating holy days or other practices found within the liturgical season. This section provides resources to help one journey to the foot of the cross during Lent.
Bishop Malesic offers words of inspiration during the season of Lent. Bishop has released his Lenten message for the faithful. In addition, every day during Lent, he provides daily reflections. Access to the calendar of his reflections are linked below and can also be found on his social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
