Ambassadors of Hope
Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It's a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. Many know the tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent, but we are also called to practice self-discipline and fast in other ways throughout the season. In Lent, the baptized are called to renew their baptismal commitment as others prepare to be baptized through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, a period of learning and discernment for individuals who have declared their desire to become Catholics.
Season of Lent: March 5 - April 17, 2025

Lenten Mission
As we journey together through Lent, the Diocese of Syracuse invites you to a special three-night Lenten Mission focused on deepening our Eucharistic faith. Join us for an inspiring series of evenings featuring keynote speaker John Beaulieu, witness talks, and a powerful Holy Hour with Bishop Douglas J. Lucia presiding.
Each evening will highlight a different theme, guiding us to embrace our Eucharistic identity, live a Eucharistic life, and carry out the Eucharistic mission.
