We invite you to join with us on this Lenten Journey...
Dear Friends,

As we begin this season of Lent I invite you to reflect on God's goodness. I invite you to enter into the stories of our Sisters in ministry around the world and, through them, to hear the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Journey with us in prayer and action; read the life stories of women, children and families living in poverty in some of the most abandoned places in our world. We welcome your presence and support.

May each of us finish this journey on Easter with a renewed spirit and better understanding of God's presence in our lives.

Gratefully in Notre Dame,
Sr. Leonore
Sister Leonore Coan, SNDdeN
Director of Mission Support

What is Lent?

It is the forty days of preparation for Easter. Biblically “forty" symbolizes growing closer to God. During Lent we are encouraged to participate in three actions: prayer, fasting and giving alms. In this way, we grow closer to God, to who it is God has created us to be, and to our brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ.
