In conjunction with Peace & Social Justice, we have decided to partner with Hilltop’s KidReach program for our Lenten Project.
 
Together as a community, we are going to pray, fast, and give alms in order to make a difference in the lives of those children going hungry.
 
There is a basket at the entrance of the church where you can drop your donation or you can visit our ’GIVE’ tab at to make a donation. 
 
Please keep this donation separate from your weekly contribution.

Services begin at 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm

Ash Wednesday & Good Friday are days of Fast and Abstinence.
Fasting means eating only one full meal with two smaller meals that do not equal the full meal (for those between the ages of 18-59).
Abstinence means to not eat meat (for those ages 14 and older).
All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. 

Ashes will be sprinkled on top of one's head per Vatican guidelines in response to COVID-19.
