What Is Lent?
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores the origins of Lent and its meaning today. Follow along as Father emphasizes that Lent is a personal journey of renewal, not just tradition. True Easter joy comes from real transformation—embracing new life through reflection, commitment, and faith.
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
