Why We Go To Mass?
We go to Mass to engage in a deeper relationship with God and our community. Key word in that sentence is relationship. We go to Mass to continuing to learn about the Lord through the Word, Scripture, and more specifically through the Gospels. We go to Mass to receive Grace in the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist.
Grace being the share in the very life of God, which he first gave us through Baptism but we continue to receive in the Sacraments. That is why the Mass and the Eucharist are so important.

You Have Dirt on Your Forehead!

We will walk you through the Catholic Lenten traditions like ashes on our foreheads, on Ash Wednesday; the Stations of the Cross; Fasting and Abstinence; Rules from Canon law; Prayer devotions like Adoration and going to Confession; plus crazy things we have done for Lent. We will share stories from our encounters with Jesus and how through little sacrifices we enhance our relationship with the Creator of the Universe.
