Pope Francis has named this Jubilee year: “Pilgrims of Hope.” It’s the perfect theme to guide us through this Lenten season, as we journey to follow Jesus. In Romans 5:5, we are reminded that when we follow Him, we find hope that never lets us down. This Lent, we invite you to join us on a journey that builds sustained hope in our hearts - hope that empowers us to move forward with confidence, clarity, and faith. Our theme is ROAD TO HOPE!
Each week, we’ll explore specific practices that help us build hope, using the analogy of a road trip. Join us as we discover how to let God lead us, tune into His voice, make necessary changes in our hearts, and share hope with others. Buckle up!
Each week on our ROAD TO HOPE, we’ll unpack a new milestone message at Mass through our music, scripture, and a message that connects faith to real life.
No matter where you are on your faith journey - whether you’re all in, feeling distant, or just curious - there’s a seat for you in our road trip with Jesus this Lent. Want to dive deeper?

Week 1: Let God Take the Driver’s Seat
Focus: Fasting
As we begin our Lenten journey, we focus on letting go of control and allowing God to take the lead in our lives. By fasting, we make space for God’s vision and trust in His plan over our own.
Week 2: Make Sure You Can Hear the Directions
Focus: Prayer
This week, we deepen our connection with God through prayer. Learning to listen to His voice will guide us as we continue our journey toward hope.
Week 3: There Will Be Construction Zones
Focus: Prayer
As we journey forward, we’ll encounter “construction zones” in our hearts. These are moments of transformation where God rebuilds us, shining light on areas that need His healing touch.
Week 4: Notice Your Blind Spots
Focus: Almsgiving
We all have blind spots that can prevent us from seeing the needs of others. This week, we focus on giving - whether through time, resources, or a kind word - to bring hope to those who need it most.
Week 5: Remember the Destination
Focus: Hope
As Lent draws to a close, we are reminded of the ultimate destination - eternal life with Christ. This week, we focus on keeping our eyes fixed on the hope of the resurrection, even in life’s struggles.
