On Lenten Practices

Dear Parish Faithful,

As we “gird our loins” for the lenten struggle that commences next Monday, March 7, I will periodically send out some reminders about the various types of practices that we embrace on a more intense level during this season. There are three such articles attached to this letter, [in printable PDF format] dealing respectively with prayer, almsgiving and fasting. Please read them carefully at your convenience.

In Christ,
Fr. Steven
