This Lent, we prepare our hearts for Jesus’ Resurrection. Lent is a sacred season of reflection, repentance, and quiet hope in the Church. Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we step away from the noise of daily life and make space for God to work within us.Lent invites us to deepen our relationship with Christ, and with others. We walk together as a community, journeying toward the joy of Easter and the promise of new life in Christ.Saint Thomas More and those close to our community offer several opportunities for prayer, service, and spiritual renewal throughout the Lenten season. We hope you will find an opportunity below to deepen your faith and reflect on the gifts God has given you.
