Lent Begins on February 17, Ash Wednesday. Our theme this year is Open Wide Our Hearts.
In November 2018 the Catholic bishops of the United States released a Pastoral Letter Against Racism called, Open Wide Our Hearts: the Enduring Call to Love. The letter is a powerful invitation for all the people of God to “face courageously the vice of racism, . . . reach out generously to the victims of this evil, to assist the conversion needed in those who still harbor racism, and to begin to change policies and structures that allow racism to persist.”
This Lent may we open wide our hearts to address racism through growing in our awareness and knowledge, so that as an Easter people we will move into action following the example of Jesus who loved all!
Due to COVID we continue to take safety protocols seriously. Ash Wednesday Masses will, like Christmas, will require signing up and reserving your space. Watch for more information.
