Greetings!
May the presence of Jesus be with you as we turn toward the high point of the Lenten season: the celebration of the risen Christ, our hope, our joy!
This posting includes additional resources for the last few weeks of Lent: a prayer, a Lenten reflection, and a better-late -than-never updated version of Lenten Labyrinth (graciously done by a member--thank you!). To round out your spring planning, we also offer a number of items for the classroom or parish-- an updated global poverty quiz, a Discussion Guide for the classic text To Kill a Mockingbird, and a Spanish translation of our much celebrated Way of the Cross meditation.
If you are not already a member please join us now! Not sure if you are current or need to renew? Renew here! (Please consider making a donation above membership fees so we can keep our rates low). Thank you for your ongoing support. Kerry Kerry Danner-McDonald, Director kdanner@coc.org |
