To Jesus Through Mary

Maternity of Mary and Holy Childhood Parish Lenten Program

How to become a saint?

This year, we would like to offer you a special opportunity to grow in holiness. Both of our parishes celebrate their patronal day during the Octave of Christmas. Mary has a unique role in the History of Salvation, but She also has a special affection for Holy Childhood and Maternity of Mary parishes. Guided by Fr. Michael Gaitley’s book, 33 Days to Morning Glory, we will place ourselves in the arms of Mary in order to surrender to her Son, our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Join us at Holy Childhood in Buchanan Hall, every Thursday evening during Lent from 6 pm to 8 pm (starts on March 6, ends on April 3rd).
