“Uplifting” may not be the first thing you associate with Lent, but we hope it will be by the time Easter comes around this year. We’ve all suffered enough over the past year, but Lent was never about suffering more, anyway.

There are a range of ways you can help Lift Up Lent this year at St. Michael’s.
