Ash Wednesday
As a special gift from the Lord this year, Ash Wednesday falls on the day of love. This gives us a wonderful opportunity to begin the Lenten season with a reminder that love is our compass.

The Lord desires our whole heart, and today we are called through the prophet Joel to “return to me with your whole heart” (Joel 2:12). During Lent, we must repent and return to Christ. Seize the possibilities of Lent—take a step closer to God!

Fish Fry
Celebrate Lent with your parish community at a fish fry! 
During Lent, we fast and abstain from meat on Fridays. Attend a Fish Fry at one of parishes in the diocese.

Visit dioceseofgaylord.org/fishfry for a listing of all Fish Fries throughout Lent.

Solidarity Fund for National Eucharistic Congress
The National Eucharistic Congress has recently released information about a Solidarity Fund available for both individuals and groups interested in attending the Congress but who are unable to afford the inherent costs. 

For individuals:
The scholarship application is available for anyone interested in applying. The application is self-guided and user-friendly. 

For groups:
The scholarship application for groups requires some collaboration with the Diocese of Gaylord, and is meant for youth, school, or parish groups. If you are interested in bringing a group from your parish or school, please reach out to me or Ami Peterson, (989) 705-3539, to learn more about what the process looks like. 

For both groups and individuals, the link to apply for the Solidarity Fund is below:
