THE WAY OF TRUST AND LOVE

Join us this Lent for a parish-wide reading of The Way of Trust and Love by Jacques Philippe, one of our Lenten Books for 2026. Through this beautiful reflection on the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, we’ll explore how childlike trust, simplicity, and love can deepen our relationship with God in everyday life.

FROM EXODUS TO EASTER

Join us on this Lenten journey of discovery to gain a deeper understanding of how God’s ancient covenant with Israel reaches its fulfillment in Jesus Christ and continues to shape our lives today.


This 6-week Lenten Course invites participants to step into the heart of salvation history by exploring how the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are deeply rooted in the Jewish Passover.  Far from being isolated events, the Passover, Passion, and Resurrection together fulfill God’s ancient promises and create a new covenantal relationship between God and his people. You cannot fully understand the Last Supper--or the Cross--without Passover.

​

The sessions will be facilitated by parishioners Joe Adams and Kathy Cooney.
You do not need to be able to join for all 6 sessions to register.

WHEN: Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:15 p.m.; February 25; March 4, 11, 18, 25; April 8

WHERE: St. Joseph, specific room TBD

WHEN: $10 to cover the cost of the resources

THE 10:10 CHALLENGE

The 10:10 Challenge by The Evangelical Catholic is a powerful invitation to live the abundant life Jesus promises in John 10:10. Its daily reflections and practical challenges are especially meaningful during Lent, a season of renewal, sacrifice, and deeper discipleship. This book encourages us to create space for God, embrace intentional habits, and grow in faith through simple yet transformative steps.
