no matter where you are in the practice of the faith; 
no matter your personal history, age or background;
no matter what your self-image may be;
YOU are invited, welcomed and loved at Holy Child Parish. 


The Precious Present of Lent

What is truly necessary for life? What is essential for becoming the best version of ourselves? These are the questions we are invited to ask as we begin our Lenten journey to the cross.


Lent is a sacred season of reflection and renewal. But will we take the time to honestly examine our priorities? Will we slow down enough to step back, regroup, and look with fresh eyes at what truly holds value and what is genuinely essential?


Over the next six weeks, our parish will offer many opportunities to help us rediscover what matters most and deepen our relationship with God. How? By embracing small, intentional moments to seek His presence and allow Him to shape our hearts. This requires us to step away from the noise and busyness of daily life and simply be present.


Lent invites us to rediscover the precious present moment — the place where God is already waiting for us.



The question is not whether God will be present. The question is: how present will we choose to be this Lenten season?

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
 Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
