Beyond the Fish Fry

Communal Liturgical Living in Lent Steffani Aquila 

Lent is a sacred season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—an invitation to deeper conversion. But how can parishes actively support their communities in living the richness of this season beyond the annual fish fry? In this webinar, we’ll explore practical ways to support parishioners in living the liturgical life of the Church, providing spiritual nourishment, engaging practices, and communal support. From fostering meaningful Lenten devotions to creating opportunities for service and reflection, we’ll discuss strategies to help parishioners embrace the season. Whether you’re a parish staff member, minister, or volunteer, this session will equip you with concrete ideas to enrich the Lenten experience for your faith community.
