We experience the four weather seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn), Winter. There are also Seasons of Faith.
Our Faith Seasons begin with the preparation for and the Birth of Jesus – Advent and Christmas.
Epiphany marks the beginning of Jesus’ teaching with His Baptism.
Lent is a time of reflection reminding us of Jesus’ time in the dessert and being tested by Satan.
This reflection prepares us for Easter, the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The balance of the year is “ordinary time” or Pentecost.

Epiphany
Epiphany is a time of learning about Jesus and the message of love and service that He brings to all people.
Epiphany begins on January 6th and continues until the beginning of Lent.
This year we celebrate Epiphany and the Baptism of the Lord on Sunday, January 4, 2026.
Lent
The season of Lent begins with the celebration of Shrove Tuesday, commonly known as Pancake Day, on Tuesday, February 17, 2026
Lent is a time to think about our lives, what we have done, what we have not done, and planning to do better in the future.
It is a time of prayer, resolution and forgiveness.
We are preparing to receive the best gift of all, everlasting life, by the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross.
