Lenten Calendar
A lenten calendar was given to your child last Ash Wednesday. Students are to complete tasks (as many as they can) suggested on the calendar and may need your help to accomplish them. Completing the task must be intentional and something they really wanted to do to make it more meaningful. Once a task is done he/she must color the box. At the end of Lent Season, students must bring the paper back in school (after spring break), we will write a reflection essay based on what they learned or experience in completing the tasks.
Attached below is the Lenten Calendar.
“Lent is an important season in our common life as a Church. We take this season seriously. We use it as a time to become closer to God. It’s a time to remove distractions and to sharpen our focus so that we might better know God’s ways and become more loving in the world, on the job, and in our own homes, far beyond the 40 days of Lent.”
