Resources for Lent
The season of Lent is a special time in the life of the Church and in our own lives. It's an invitation to reflect more deeply and closely on the life and sacrifice of Christ, and on what we ourselves can do to be more like Christ in our day to day living.
The following represents a few resources you may find helpful during Lent, to grow in prayer and in loving service.

Holy Longing
Pray As You Go Lent Retreat 2026
This Lent we’ll be encountering God in and through our own holy longings, the yearnings that stir most deeply within us. Each week we’ll spend time in Scripture, prayer, and dialogue with the Trinity - you’ll have time to speak, to reflect, and to listen for the gentle answers of God.

A centuries-old Lenten tradition is the prayer practice known as the Stations of the Cross, or the Way of the Cross. It follows the last hours of Jesus through to his death on the cross and burial.
The resources below are various ways you can take part in this way of prayer.
