Nourishing New Beginnings through Prayer and Service

Lent is not just about giving something up—it’s about making room for something new. As we reach the midpoint of our Lenten journey, let’s think about how we can nourish new beginnings in our faith and our relationships. In our schools, students are deepening their prayer lives through liturgies and reflections, finding strength in their connection with God.

This is also a time to serve. Acts of service remind us that faith is not just about belief but about action. Whether it’s participating in a school service project or simply checking in on a friend who needs support, every small act makes a difference. As a family, find ways to serve your community this week—perhaps by donating to a food bank, helping a neighbour, or writing a note of encouragement. Lent calls us to renewal, and renewal begins with love in action.

Join the Conversation with #ocsbLent

We encourage students, staff, and our wider OCSB community to share their Lenten experiences on social media using #ocsbLent. This season reminds us to be kind, generous, and thoughtful in our actions. Let’s use Lent as an opportunity to grow in faith and inspire positive change in our hearts, schools, and beyond.
