St Michael's Lent

Lent is a time of spiritual renewal through prayer and penance. We’re now halfway across the year, making our way through summer. It’s time for a refresh, time to take up the weapons of our great spiritual battle. It’s time for St. Michael’s Lent.

August 15th-September 29th


St Michael is the leader of the heavenly armies and the protector of the faithful

Ways to observe St. Michael’s Lent include:
  • Daily Prayer: Pray the Litany of St. Michael or other prayers dedicated to him.
  • Penance: Choosing some kind of fast or choose something to give up to offer to God, such as waking up at dawn or abstaining from a specific food.
  • Charity: Find a way to demonstrate love to those most in need in a concrete way, such as through the corporal works of mercy.
  • Confession and Mass: Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Mass regularly in order to be open to God’s graces.
Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us! St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
