Lent at OLGC
Return to Me with your whole heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
—Joel 2:12
May this Lent be simple and sincere, marked by steady prayer, quiet sacrifice, and confident trust in God’s loving mercy. At OLGC, we offer many opportunities to help you grow in faith and draw closer to the Lord during this sacred season.
* Lent at OLGC* booklets are available in the Narthex
Diocesan Days of Unplugging
We invite you to join the Diocese of Arlington in taking a break from screens and spending more time with each other and with God during Lent. From March 13 to 15, we hope every household will take part in the Days of Unplugging. Even a few hours away from screens can open up time for prayer, conversation, and connection.
To help you take part, stop by the Narthex on March 13th in the afternoon for a special activity inspired by St. Francis de Sales. Remember his gentle wisdom: “Have patience with everyone, but especially with yourself. Two or three years soon, and eternity remains. You can only give God what you have.”
This is an opportunity to slow down, write, reflect, and let our minds rest from constant input. Please consider taking the pledge as a family on the Diocese’s website.
