Lent - Burning of the Promises Ceremony

We gathered in the Quadrangle for our annual Burning of the Promises ceremony. Our students’ written promises were placed into the fire in a powerful symbolic act of purification and renewal as we journey through Lent.
Fr. Gerard spoke beautifully about the focuses of Lent: Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving, reminding us of the importance of these practices during this sacred season. We are deeply grateful to Fr. Gerard and Fr. Josh for attending and conducting this meaningful ceremony.
The ashes from today’s fire will be collected and used in our Ash Wednesday Mass, helping us embrace the season of reflection and growth.
