During these days before the annual Easter Holy Week, Christians around the world have been observing the Lenten Season. The word Lent, or Lenten, was originally an Old English term meaning length.

The Easter season begins for many Christians with Lent leading up to Holy Week and the celebration of new life on Resurrection Sunday.

Events hosted by Catholic Hoos include “Free, Meatless, Soup Supper” and “Stations of the Cross” in the Church each Friday during Lent.
