​Encountering Jesus

Encountering Jesus
is a virtual Lenten experience based on a classic Advent calendar, which invites you to slow down and reflect on the scriptures of Lent. Featuring short, daily Scripture reflections and suggested activities based on Lenten themes, the calendar focuses on the traditional practices of daily prayer and meditation throughout Lent. 
As Lent begins, we hope that this Lenten resource will help you in your pursuit of a stronger relationship with Jesus.

Keeping the Season
The Lenten Season is a wonderful time to deepen our relationship with God and others. This time can be 40 days of tremendous spiritual and personal growth. 
While the specific penances we choose are not our primary focus – in the end, it is always about our personal encounter with the Lord Jesus' passion and mercy – making the effort to change certain habits or attitudes in our lives can be our humble gifts to the Lord. 
Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are fundamental Catholic practices that enable us to deepen our relationship with Jesus, in and through the community of faith, and to go forth as his disciples.
​During the weeks of Lent, inspirational messages will be posted to our Facebook page. Follow us on Facebook for Lenten reflections, quotes, updates, and various music selections.

Stations of the Cross
The tradition of praying the Stations of the Cross is an ancient devotion that walks through the story of Christ’s Way of the Cross. From His anguished prayers in the Garden of Gethsemene to his burial in the tomb, praying together through these fourteen moments in Christ’s final hours is a spiritual pilgrimage that opens our eyes to the depth of God’s love for us in the face of unimaginable suffering. We invite you and your family to join us on Friday afternoons to pray the Stations!
 
​Stations of the Cross will take place on Friday afternoon during Lent  at 4:00 PM in the church.

Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic Adoration is the worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass. The Eucharistic Host is displayed in a monstrance on the altar so that all can see and pray in the presence of Christ. We can show our adoration to God in many ways, but in the Eucharistic Adoration, we spend time adoring the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
​Take time this Lent to experience the love, mercy and kindness of the Lord.

​Eucharistic Adoration will take place every Tuesday after the 9:00AM Mass and close with Benediction at 10:30 AM.


​“Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
