Making Lent More Meaningful

It’s not too late to make this Lenten season meaningful and connected to serving your neighbor alongside Catholic Charities of Acadiana. Click here to access Catholic Charities of Acadiana’s Lenten Toolkit and pair your Lenten devotions with feeding the hungry through FoodNet Food Bank and St. Joseph Diner.  

This was what a last year participant, Lana Fontenot, had to say about living Lent in the way of charity with Catholic Charities of Acadiana:  

We have always tried to instill a spirit of philanthropy and helping others in our daughters. Since a young age, both daughters developed a passion for helping the homeless. When I received an email from Catholic Charities of Acadiana about the Lenten Toolkit, I knew it was the perfect way to express our love for God and others during the season of Lent. My daughters, Brianna (12) and London (8), look forward to adding the assigned food each day to our collection basket and praying the Daily Prayer. In fact, they knew the prayer by heart after the second week. As opposed to having our children “give up something” for Lent, it was a beautiful way to tangibly express God’s commandment of loving our neighbors. 

We look forward to walking together with you in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in 2024!
