Today we celebrate Ash Wednesday, embarking upon our journey through Lent, until we experience the fullness of the Paschal Mystery during the Holy Triduum.

At Mount Royal we embrace the Lenten season. Students hear morning reflections during prayer and assembly. We  also pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday morning. This year, our Campus Ministry is organizing a Food Fast as a way to participate in one of the spiritual pillars of Lent – fasting, almsgiving, and prayer -, but also to become informed concerning chronic hunger around the globe.

Below, families will discover links to various articles and reflections, hopefully assisting them participate in the beauty and joy of this most holy season:
