Prayer, Fasting & Abstinence
Ash Wednesday is Feb. 26 and begins our 2020 Lenten Season
      Ideas for Sacrificial Lenten Offerings

  For JUST 40 days, we make sacrifices to help us return to God. 
  So choose something that will help you return to God. Once you have a Lenten plan, ask God if that's
  sacrifice that will help you return to Him and ask for His help to strengthen your resolve.

   Here are just some things to consider:
  • Fasting - purifies the soul AND offers great health benefits!
  • Participate in the 40 Days for Life Campaign
  • Volunteer to help with VBS (prep or teach) - VBSatCorpusChristi@gmail.com
  • Skip the Starbucks (or daily $5 drink) & donate the funds for almsgiving
  • Give up lash extensions (or other nonessential primping) & donate to the Charity & Development Appeal
  • Do something nice for our pastors or other clergy/religious
  • Take a church employee, catechist, or ministry leader to lunch
  • Write a letter of encouragement to a seminarian or missionary priest
  • Pray daily for all souls in purgatory
  • Reach out to a mom in need
  • If you are a mom in need, be kind to yourself & email SGCpresident.98@gmail.com for Cecyll's 40 Days of Adoration
