Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It's a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord's Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ's will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, and began a new life in Christ.
La Cuaresma es un periodo de 40 días de oración, ayuno y limosna que comienza el Miércoles de Ceniza y termina al anochecer del Jueves Santo. Es un periodo de preparación para celebrar la Resurrección del Señor en Pascua. Durante la Cuaresma, buscamos al Señor en la oración mediante la lectura de la Sagrada Escritura; servimos dando limosna; y practicamos el autocontrol mediante el ayuno. Estamos llamados no sólo a abstenernos de lujos durante la Cuaresma, sino a una verdadera conversión interior del corazón, para seguir más fielmente la voluntad de Cristo. Recordamos las aguas del bautismo en las que también nosotros fuimos bautizados en la muerte de Cristo, morimos al pecado y al mal, y comenzamos una nueva vida en Cristo.

Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life:
Why do bad things happen to good people?
What's the purpose of life?
What's next?

Here at Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish, we are a “Divine Renovation” Parish. In 2017, we joined an international network of parishes committed to renewal in the Church.
This renewal is based on the book Divine Renovation by Father James Mallon and the model that he developed as pastor of St. Benedict Parish in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The goal is to move from “Maintenance to Mission.” While maintaining and caring for the flock, we must be outward-focused, invitational, welcoming, and bringing others to Jesus.
The logo for Divine Renovation International is a key ring with three keys (see above). The key ring represents the Eucharist and Prayer. All that we do must be grounded in our worship of God through prayer and our participation in the Eucharist.
However, if we want to be missionary in spirit we must consider the importance of the three keys or principles:
Centrados en la Eucaristía, trabajamos para ofrecer hospitalidad y curación a todos.
