Mark Your Calendars & Join Us for this Eparchial Lenten Series:

Three Essential Disciplines

 March 16, March 23, March 30,  7:00 – 8:30 pm

We are encouraged to focus on Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving especially during Great Lent, but have you ever wondered why or how? In this 3-part series, we will explore the origins of these disciplines, how we might undertake them and learn about the benefits that they can hold for our spiritual life and our personal growth in holiness.

Each session will be comprised of a presentation, discussion, and prayer.  Attend any or all sessions. No registration necessary.

 

March 16 – Prayer – Fr. Bo Nahachewsky 

March 23 – Fasting – Deacon Cyril Kennedy

March 30 – Almsgiving – Staff of the Madonna House community (Marian Centre)

 

Session 2 of The Eparchy of Edmonton Lenten Series

 March 23, 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Why do we need to Fast? Can it really make a difference in my relationship with God? Isn’t fasting just another old-fashion rule that the Church needs to let go? Join Deacon Cyril Kennedy and learn the answer to these questions and more!    

There will be a presentation, followed by a Q and A, and prayer.

Session 3 of the Eparchy of Edmonton Lenten Series

 

 March 30, 7:00 – 8:30 pm

 

“Our prayers become effective through almsgiving; life redeemed from dangers by almsgiving; souls are delivered from death by almsgiving.”

– St Cyprian

Join Janet, Hugo & Blanka from the Marian Centre in Edmonton as they explore not only why we are encouraged by the church to give alms but why it is imperative to give alms, for the good of others and our own good.
