3.    The youth of our parish have prepared a Family Lenten calendar. Each family can identify one good deed or activity to be followed as a unit each day of this Lenten season.  There is a pre-filled template as well for reference. Request all families of our parish to follow it through the season and bring a copy of their filled calendar on Good Friday after the stations or the evening service. Calendars of selected families with good deeds on most days will be displayed on the notice board.  Let us make this Lenten season meaningful and prayerful.
