Lent 4.5-Christian Simplicity

 

The Passionist Earth & Spirit Center is offering the program, Lent 4.5-Christian Simplicity. It is a more meaningful way to experience Lent than simply giving up chocolate. This 7-week program informs and inspires Christian communities on how to use prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to care for God's creation. It offers practical opportunities for people to apply church teaching on Gospel simplicity to their everyday lives. Click here to download their informational brochure.
