Bp. Barron's Reflections

As disciples of Christ, we are called during Lent to dedicate ourselves to prayer and scripture, service (also called almsgiving), and sacrifice in the form of self-examination and fasting. May your Lenten journey bear much fruit and bring you closer to Our Lord, and may you be a bright lamp (Matthew 5:14-16) for your family and your community.

The blessing of the Easter Basket, filled with the food for the first meal of Easter, has been a beloved Catholic tradition for centuries, especially among families of Eastern European heritage.
On Holy Saturday morning, families prepare their baskets with symbolic foods, then bring them to church to be blessed during a brief afternoon service.
Come share in this beautiful custom with your parish family, or begin a meaningful new Easter tradition in your own home!
