Lent, Holy Week, and Easter at St. Anthony
-
-
The 40 days of Lent begin on Ash Wednesday and end with the start of the Triduum on Holy Thursday. The entire Lenten Season is devoted to preparing for the joyful celebration of Jesus's Resurrection on Easter. We prepare through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving–by sharing in opportunities to draw deeper into our faith and our trust in the Lord. We, as individuals and as a community, seek to walk alongside Jesus in the desert and accompany him to Calvary.
We invite you to enter into this holy season with your heart open to contemplate Jesus's suffering and death on the Cross so that it may be filled with joyful hope upon the Resurrection of our Lord at Easter. Here's how:

The entire Lenten Season is a journey devoted to preparing for the great celebration of the Paschal Mystery at Easter. We walk alongside Jesus on this journey in our prayer, fasting & almsgiving.
Pray. Fast. Give.
As a parish we will pray and give alms together through a second collection each Sunday of Lent to assist local charities and groups who are committed to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Learn more about these organizations, pray for them, fast for them, and give generously.
