Seasonal Liturgies

Programs and Services during Lent

The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Lent is a period of 40 days leading up to Easter when Christians engage in spiritual renewal through prayer, reflection and service. University Ministry invites all of our students faculty and staff of all faiths or no religious traditions, to consider participating in our Lenten programs as an opportunity to deepen one's spiritual practice, explore the Ignatian tradition, or embark on a new community service. Lent is a time to examine one's life and to discover new ways of living with meaning, integrity and purpose.

Along with our liturgies and prayer services, please visit both our retreat and community action sites for programs that take place during the Lenten season.
