LENT 2026
What should we do in Lent?
Coming to the Sacrament of Penance (Confession), so that with purified heart we may worthily participate in the Paschal Mysteries;
Seeking the Lord in prayer especially by reading Sacred Scripture;
Serving by giving alms;
and practicing self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ's will more faithfully.

LENTEN DEVOTIONS:​
Adoration: Thursdays at St. Joseph’s at 6pm (with Evening Prayer, confession available)
Rosary: Mondays 7pm at St. Joseph’s & 7pm at St. Bernadette’s.

VOCATIONS
“The entire People of God is responsible for promoting vocations, and does so chiefly by persistent and humble prayer for vocations" (Pope St. JP II)

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Lord Jesus, as once you called the first disciples and made them fishers of men, continue to let resound today Your sweet invitation: “Come and follow me.” 
Grant to men and women in our day the grace and trust to respond to Your voice.
Sustain our bishops, priests and consecrated souls in their apostolic work.
Give perseverance to our seminarians and to all those living a life of total consecration to Your service.
Enkindle in our communities a missionary zeal.
Send, Lord, workers into Your fields to feed and guide Your flock as Good Shepherds in imitation of You.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Model of Vocations, help us to say “Yes” to the Lord who calls each one of us to play our part in His plan of salvation. Amen.

MARIAN DEVOTIONS 

“To succeed in your intentions, entrust yourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary always, but especially in moments of difficulty and darkness. ‘From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s will in things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ, her Son and the Son of God…Learn from her to be always faithful, to trust that God’s Word to you will be fulfilled, and that nothing is impossible with God.’” - St. John Paul II
