Lenten Resources

Lent begins this year with Ash Wednesday on February 17th.  Here are some great online resources for making the most of your Lenten journey. If you have a link to add, please pass it along. Check back frequently to see if new things have been added.
  • Good Ground Press has some online retreats that you can tackle in your own time. Try this one called "Life is a Puzzle." You can also look over to the left hand side to see their other retreats.
  • The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has put together some Lenten resources here.
  • The USCCB also has some audio resources that you can download to your favorite mp3 player and take with you.
  • Check here for some great meatless recipes from Catholicmom.com.
At Blessed Sacrament, you can participate in the Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent. The youth will present their annual Stations of the Cross performance on Friday, March 26th. The parish is in the process of putting together a list of other activities and I will post that here as soon as it is available.

More links for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany

While you are online today, why not try out some of these seasonal ideas!!


  • How would you like to make a personalized book for a younger sibling or cousin for Christmas?  Try here.  You will need a color printer to complete this 30 minute project.
  • Want some printables for Christmas gift giving?  Try here.  There are lots of different ideas you can print out.
  • Here's a great link to a printable Nativity scene! Make this with a younger sibling, cousin, neighbor or friend. You can print the pieces in color, or print them in black and white to color yourself.  
  • How about a family service project you can do together for the holidays?  Check here and make gingerbread dolls to donate to a children's hospital (think UVA) or other charity. The directions call for some simple sewing skills, but I like to cheat by using a hot glue gun!


Do you have any great ideas for the season?  Leave them in the comments or email me and I will add it to the list!
