The Lenten Fast
/Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing. Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her canopy. Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep. Let them say, "Spare your people, O Lord, and do not make your heritage a mockery, a byword among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, `Where is their God?'" (Joel 2)

Silent Supper 7:00 pm
Passiontide begins on April 6, the Fifth Sunday in Lent, when the crosses and statues are veiled. Symbols of the resurrection are hidden, and God vanishes from our sight. Join us for mass and supper in the monastic tradition, observing silence while hearing edifying texts.

Almsgiving
In addition to study and worship, Lent calls us to share our resources. This year’s Lenten charity is Episcopal Relief and Development, which has helped communities such as the victims of the Lahaina wildfires, those suffering from wildfires in California, as well as other communities throughout the world who face challenges beyond their control. You may give directly through the ERD website.
