Hello St. Mary Magdalene,

Hard to believe that Lent is here next week! I pray that you Lenten journey will be a fruitful one. To assist you come see our new external stations of the cross. The result of a young man from our parish's Eagle Scout project, these stations can be found behind the office in the prayer garden.

Also, with Lent so close, have you prayed over what the Lord is asking you to give up for Lent? It's a challenge for sure, and that's the point, our Lenten disciplines should sting and have a decent amount of sacrifice made for the sake of Christ. That's usually a good sign that we've chosen a good penance.

Lastly too, to get us into the spirit of Lent, our Knights of Columbus are helping us celebrate Mardi Gras by putting on a pancake breakfast for us after all morning Masses on the 27th. Come and enjoy some great food and fellowship before our Lenten journey begins.

Thank you all and God bless,

God bless, Fr. Chris
