40 days begins…TODAY!

What happens 40 days from today? Lent.

Yup, this is shocking, but Ash Wednesday is on February 14th (just 40 days away).

The Christmas season isn’t over so it can seem unimaginable to already be thinking about Lent, but as I was approving the next printing of THIS resource…I thought I’d share what else I’m working on.

First, are you signed up for Lenten Adventure?

If you loved our daily resources for Advent, make sure you are signed up to receive the daily email for Lent!

SPECIAL for Lent: we walk through the entire Mass (what things mean, why we do them, and so much more)! So if you are struggling with squirmy kids at Mass, sign up for Lenten Adventure for this special program! And while you wait for Lent to start, download this guide for kids to bring along to Mass!

Can we ask you a favor–could you help us spread the word about this FREE program?

We are sending FREE Lenten Adventure flyers that you can share with your parish, school, homeschool group, or friends to help other families discover this free resource!

Just fill out this quick form letting us know how many you need (25, 50, 300??) and we will get them in the mail to you ASAP.

Second, what resources do you need for Lent?

We have a (growing) collection of Lenten resources for all ages!

Whether you need a Lent & Easter calendar or Stations of the Cross resources, you can grab those today so they arrive in plenty of time.

We have some great tips on the blog to help you determine what will best fit your family–check out “How to do Lent: Based on the Ages of Your Kids”.

Pssst–if you loved making candles for Advent, you don’t want to miss our Paschal Candle Kit!

Third, are you subscribed to this blog?

We share dozens of resources on the blog during Lent and YOU need to be subscribed to automatically receive them!

Over the years, we’ve shared things like special coloring pages of St. Blaise and a coloring download about the Pillars of Lent. We have some extra freebies coming up so make sure you subscribe to the blog to be alerted when they become available!!
