Wednesday, March 12 | 10am to 12pm Thursday, March 13 | 6:30pm to 8:30pm Presented by Sister Susan Arcaro, rc in English Each year, we are called to embrace Lent with a spirit of sacrifice, contrition, and reparation. Rarely, however, do we consider Lent as a journey of incredible love, unimaginable joy, or ardent longing. The wonder of Lent begins with an invitation to ‘see’ more clearly how deeply God loves us and continues with our desire to respond with fervent love to LOVE everlasting. For questions, contact Suzanne Coughlin at suzanne@popfb.org.
