As part of your Lenten practice this year, please visit our Parish's homepage at: https://queenofpeacepatton.org/ to view Bishop Robert Barron’s daily “Lent Reflections.” The brief meditations, part of the Bishop’s Word on Fire Ministry, will continue throughout the Lenten season. Be inspired!

"Ash Wednesday calls us into the Lenten weeks of keeping warm the embers of our Christian discipleship through a renewed commitment to prayer, to fasting, and to almsgiving, so that the breath of the Easter Jesus may rekindle in us the fire of our baptism. The Sundays of Lent retain their character as commemorations of the resurrection of the Lord, and so the reminder that Lent is a preparation for the celebration of Easter is woven like a golden thread through the season's darker days." --"Living Liturgy," Ash Wednesday 2021
