Pillars of Living Lent: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving

January 25, 2023 By Grace Koleczek

Sometimes it might feel like Lent is part of the same old routine, but each Lenten Season, God invites us to something new! The pillars remain the same but their meaning may evolve or deepen as our lives change.

This Lent, you’re invited to join in one or more of the following ways to connect anew to Lent.

Fasting: Making Room for God to Work in and through You

What: Mike Rios-Keating, Social Justice Education Manager at Catholic Charities of St. Paul & Minneapolis, will present on how fasting is more than “giving up chocolate.” The fasting God asks of us is meant to be in service of the poor and the needy. Fasting prepares us for the joy of the Resurrection and the promise it holds for the kingdom of God where justice reigns, bellies are full, and peace prevails.

When: Tuesday, Feb. 28th from 6:30-7:30pm

Where: Bays at Risen Savior

Free will donations accepted. Childcare available with RSVP by Feb. 21st.

Prayer: Meaningful Conversations about Prayer Series

What: This is a 4-part series with presentations, individual reflections, and small-group engagement. The series is an opportunity to learn and share important ideas about communicating with God.

When: Tuesdays from 7-8:30pm

  • Mar. 7th: How and Why We Pray
  • Mar. 14th: Praying with Our Own Words
  • Mar. 21st: Praying with Scripture
  • Mar. 28th: Praying with the Church’s Words

Where: Bays at Risen Savior

Almsgiving: Joining Hands in Loving Service to Others

Almsgiving means donating resources to the poor and practicing the works of mercy and acts of justice. In addition to many regular opportunities to serve, this Lent we have a few special projects, too! These are not only opportunities for almsgiving but also for parish integration and getting to know one another across cultures by joining hands in service.
