We would also like to point out that there are many resources on our website and in the coming eNewsletters we will be highlighting these different resources. Be sure to check the information we've included here on the USCCB's Lenten Resource Guide and the Catholic News Service.

Lenten Resources                            The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has put together a compilation of different Lenten resources. These are meant to help us take advantage of the opportunity this season presents to unite with Christ through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Many of these will answer questions about Lent, provide reflections to ponder and even help show how we can use this penitential time for evangelization
