Lent 2026

During this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we invite you to join our parish for Mass, Confessions, Bible Study, Fish Fries, and Stations of the Cross.

“A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from before your face, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore to me the gladness of your salvation; uphold me with a willing spirit.” Psalm 51:12 – 14

Paschal Mystery Bible Study

Thursday, February 19 – Thursday, March 26.

6 – 7 pm in Flynn Hall.

Join us for a Lenten Bible study, led by Paul Mach, entitled A Walk Through Holy Week.  This study will take a look at each day of Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday.  Using Scripture, we will walk though the days leading up to Christ’s Death and Resurrection.  Please bring your Bible with you.

Paul is a member of St. Mary parish, currently assisting us as an acolyte and lector.  He is a former seminarian of the Diocese of Lincoln and currently part of the administrative staff of the Women’s Care Center in Lincoln.  His presentations will rely on Catholic biblical commentaries and his class notes from his days in the seminary when he studied this topic.  They are fueled by His love for the Lord and the incredible story of the Paschal Mystery.  We hope you will come and listen and set your heart on course for the gift and wonder of Holy Week.
