2025 Lent Penitential Services
The Lenten season is a solemn period when we focus on prayer, fasting and almsgiving. A time to deepen or reconnect with one’s faith and draw closer to God as we prepare for the joyful celebration of Christ’s Resurrection at Easter.
The Sacrament of Penance enhances our Lenten practices, relieving our hearts of some of the burdens we carry, and opens us to receive God’s Mercy.
If you do not see your parish listed below, please contact the parish directly to inquire about Penitential Service dates and times, and please ask your parish to submit times here. Parish contact information can be found at https://caedm.ca/parishes/.
