Continue your Lenten journey at Saint Paul
Lent is the liturgical season of forty days which begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the Paschal Mystery (Easter Triduum). Lent is the primary penitential season in the Church's liturgical year, reflecting the forty days Jesus spent in the desert in fasting and prayer (Catechism nos. 540, 1095, 1438).

On entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. He said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold the place where they laid him. -- Mark 16:5&6

The Easter season celebrates Christ’s resurrection from the dead, his victory over death. Christ’s Ascension into heaven is celebrated on the 7th Sunday after Easter, this year May 29. Also referred to as Eastertide, the Easter season is the period of 50 days, spanning from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday, where Jesus sends the Holy Spirit upon the apostles to spread the Gospel to all nations. This year the Easter Season is April 17 through June 5, 2022. All Liturgies will be in the Church.

May the joy of the Risen Lord bless you and your family this Easter Season.
