Lent is right around the corner!
Ash Wednesday is February 18, 2015.
So, what are you doing to get ready and what will you do during this season to prepare your heart for the greatest day on the calendar, Easter Sunday?
Here are some options:
Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist has available a Lenten Journal. It is part of their Disciple of Christ-Education in Virtue program. I used it last year and it is excellent. Find it here: https://www.sistersofmary.org/our-news/news/347-a-lenten-journal.html
For those who live in the greater Detroit area:
Holy Trinity Apostolate is having their annual Lenten Symposium on Saturday March 14, 2015 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Catholic Church at 41233 Ryan Road in Sterling Heights . Many great speakers are on tap for the day (including Archbishop Allen Vigneron). Lunch is included in your registration fee of $55. Register at: www.holytrinityapostolate.com I have attended this several times and have never been disappointed. This year, my Dear One and I are making a weekend of it.
Church of the Divine Child 1055 N. Silvery Lane Dearborn, MI 48128 is hosting an event titled Discovering Christ. This is a free event but registration is required. Meetings will take place each Friday, February 13-March 27 from 7-9 p.m. in the High School All-Purpose Room. Contact Karen at ChristLifeDC@gmail.com by February 6, 2015.
Many churches have fish fries on Friday evenings along with Stations of the Cross.
