Faith in Action MinistryMarch 9 and 16, 2026
For two Monday evenings in mid-Lent we will take time to pause and reflect on our spiritual journeys. We will use readings from the daily reflection booklet: “Peace Compels Us: Reflections for Lent 2026,” published by Pax Christi USA; co-written by Michael Angel Martín and Bishop John Stowe, OFM.
Thought-provoking and often poetic, these reflections will provide excellent companionship for anyone who wants: - to go deeper into the scriptures during Lent, or - to connect with others about our call to Christian discipleship, and - to witness to the God of nonviolence and love. If the weeks slip by or if your Lenten practice needs refreshed, take advantage of this opportunity.
Our time together will include contemplative prayer, reading scripture and conversation. And perhaps, during this time of prayer, we too will feel Lenten grace.
Held on Zoom, participants access this course through the Zoom application. Once registered, participants receive a registration receipt from the Franciscan Renewal Center. Closer to the start of the class, the Zoom access information will be provided to you through an email. * To receive your booklet before Lent begins: please register by Friday morning, February 13. Registration remains open until March 7. Pick up the pocket booklet at the Guest Services Desk in the Lobby.
