Hallow:

“Return to the Father”

As we journey through this sacred season of Lent, we invite you to join us for our parish Lenten Mission, Return to the Father—a time of renewal, reflection, and deeper encounter with God’s mercy.

This mission is an opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and draw closer to the heart of the Father who is always ready to welcome us home. To enrich your Lenten prayer, we also encourage you to explore the Hallow app, which offers guided reflections, meditations, and prayer resources that beautifully complement our mission theme. It’s a helpful way to stay rooted in prayer throughout the week and continue growing spiritually at home.

Let us walk this Lenten path together as a parish family, returning our hearts to the Father with trust and hope.
