Preparing for Lent

Last Sunday, the students in Miss Elsa’s class enjoyed an early celebration of Saint Valentine’s Day. They reflected on God’s love as a gift we can share then created special cards and candy treats to give our neighbors at the East End Cooperative Ministry.

The older students learned about the Transfiguration and how Jesus' status as Messiah was confirmed by the divine testimony that he is God's beloved son. The lesson also included a brief discussion about the coming of Lent, including the meaning of Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.

As we anticipate the start of Lent, our Faith Formation classes eagerly await a season filled with reflection, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections with each other and our faith.
