Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 22) and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday (April 6). 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.”
(USCCB website 2/8/22)

St. Tom's Subscription to FORMED
Lord Jesus Christ,
We ask that you enlighten our minds,
inflame our hearts, and make us aware of your great love for us.
Increase in us the faith that you are truly here in the Eucharist and in every member of St. Tom’s.
You have defeated death itself
and called us to you by our Baptism.
Thank you for the ways you have
blessed our parish community.
Help us to communicate to others
the joy we have received.
We ask this in your Holy Name.
Amen.
A Novena is nine days of prayer in preparation for a feast. In the case of the Novena to Divine Mercy, we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day for a specific intention. The Novena begins on Good Friday, April 7. Download the worship aid.
