Lent, Holy Week, and Easter at St. Anthony
-
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends with the start of the Triduum, at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. The entire Lenten Season is devoted to preparing for the great celebration of the Paschal Mystery at Easter.
Individually, the faithful are called to prepare through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. As a parish, we hope to accompany you on your Lenten Journey by offering opportunities for you to draw deeper into your faith life.
We invite you to enter into this holy and solemn season with your heart open to contemplate Jesus's suffering and death on the Cross so that it may be filled with joy upon the Resurrection of our Lord at Easter. -
