Liturgical Services during Lent
-
-
Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It's a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection at Easter.
During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ's will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ.
The Cathedral will be holding special liturgical services during these 40 days of Lent, as we begin the annual rituals of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. They are as follows:

Sacrament of Reconciliation
Monday, Wednesdays & FridaysMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during Lent at 11:00 AM.
“The season of Lent is most appropriate for celebrating the sacrament of penance. Already on Ash Wednesday the
people of God has heard the solemn invitation ‘Repent and believe in the Gospel.’ The multiple penitential celebrations during Lent, provides the faithful an opportunity to be reconciled with God and their neighbor and so be able to celebrate the paschal mystery in the Easter Triduum with renewed hearts” (The Rite of Penance, 13).

Stations of the Cross
FridaysEvery Friday during Lent at 11:30 AM.
The prayer will begin in the nave of the Cathedral, then we will process to the Stations of the Cross in the north ambulatory/ Baptistry of the Cathedral.
