Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and concludes with Holy Week in April.

91直播 Ministry, Service, and Support (UMSS) has developed the following schedule of Masses, programs, and events focused on togetherness and faith this Lenten season:

Ash Wednesday

The Lenten season begins with the celebration of Ash Wednesday, which this year falls on March 2. There are several places on La 91直播鈥檚 campus where you can receive ashes on this holy day of prayer, fasting, and reflection.

Here is when and where ashes will be distributed:

Confession

You can celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation by scheduling time for confession with Father Frank Berna, Ph.D., each Wednesday in Lent, from 1:30鈥4 p.m. Email Fr. Frank to learn more.

La 91直播 Mass

Stations of the Cross

This devotion is offered every Friday at 1 p.m. in the De La 91直播 Chapel, with the officiant reminding us of Jesus鈥 path toward his crucifixion and death.

Labyrinth walk

Every Tuesday, at 2 p.m., you can visit De La 91直播 Chapel to participate in the Labyrinth鈥攁 walking meditation to assist people to find peace and clarity, manage stress, make decisions, and heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

The Labyrinth has a single path winding toward the center, which is visible anywhere from the circuit鈥檚 perimeter. There is one continuous path that leads to the center and then back out again, so there are no decisions to make and you simply follow the path鈥攗nlike a maze, which has dead ends and requires decisions about which path to follow. (Can鈥檛 attend? Download and to be colored or traced anywhere and everywhere you find yourself.)

Make time for mindfulness this Lent. Join others in a mindfulness sitting session every Monday at 12 noon in the Interfaith Prayer room, located on the lower level of College Hall.

Weekly retreat

Every Tuesday at 6 p.m., join with others in the University community for a simple meatless meal from a developing country and hear an inspiring story of someone from the country.
