St. William Church 40 Offerings of Lent As Lent approaches each year, our minds turn to, what will we do; what will we give up? Instead of only giving up, why not put something in something that will take hold. Make this Lent more meaningful for the whole family. Join our fellow parishioners in our 2015 Lenten Journey, 40 Offerings of Lent. from February 18 April 4. This is an opportunity for adults and children together to grow in their understanding of the three disciplines of Lent: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. The 40 Offerings of Lent will be a parish-wide ministry to collect food or other offerings that will benefit parishioners as well neighboring food pantries and outreach programs. An offering a day whether spiritual or almsgiving will fulfill your 40 day Journey. Almsgiving donations will be accepted weekly. Donations can be placed in the boxes located around the altar and will be accepted before or after Masses. Coming in future bulletin: JOURNEY calendar. LENTEN REGULATIONS Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent.

Następnie przez Delfy udamy się do Kalambaki na zwiedzanie bizantyjskich klasztorów - jednego z 7 cudów świata. Zatrzymamy się w Filippi, skąd udamy się do Salonik, gdzie znajdowała się jedna z pierwszych gmin chrześcijańskich. Dość powiedzieć, że to tylko część atrakcji naszej wyprawy pielgrzymkowej.
