"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." – Martin Luther King Jr.

At this special time of year, we have books to inspire and delight you. Accompany your little ones 'On the Road to Emmaus' or through 'Via Lucis: The Way of the Light'. Or perhaps, reflect with Fr Michael on the Gospel resurrection narratives in 'Alive'.

ECO Spiritual Lent

ECO Spiritual Lent

Wed, 22 Feb 2023

For Lent 2023, the Youth Ministry Sector proposes a tool to accompany in the ECO-SPIRITUAL WAY of preparation for Easter. The journey begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.

Each day we will be accompanied by a sentence from the Gospel linked to a concrete commitment. This year's theme is the ecological footprint: the Lenten journey will help lighten the ecological footprint by focusing on relationships: with God, with ourselves, with others and, thus, with all of Creation.
