As Advent begins, Newman staff are beginning to plan for…Lent! Ash Wednesday is February 22, 2023. In recent years Newman has offered a “grab bag” of take-home Lenten resources: the Lenten devotional “black books”, Catholic Relief Services' Rice Bowls, and a brochure summarizing useful information for Lent at Newman. We plan on continuing this. Newman has also offered weekly evening gatherings in Church for prayer and reflection; these have been sparsely attended, with about twenty-five participants. We want to hear how the Newman Community can help you make this Lent a time of spiritual deepening in preparation for the celebration of Easter.

The US Church's annual collection "works on the margins" to help communities address their most pressing social concerns. In the Diocese of Raleigh, Orange County Justice United, One Wake and Raleigh Area Land Trust have all received national CCHD funding.
