A Message from the Bishop - This Season of Lent

A Message from the Bishop - This Season of Lent

“This season of Lent is a time of self-examination and repentance. It is not 40 days for feeling guilty, as if we can’t be forgiven until Easter. It is rather to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us to a fuller and deeper repentance.”
