Mite Box Lent

During Lent we spend time with the Israelites in the desert of forty years. The time will lead us to freedom in the Promised Land. During Lent we spend time with Jesus in the desert of forty days. The time will lead us to the teaching and healing He brings. During Lent we cross the same desert with our daily practices of our faith, prayer, fasting and alms giving.

The Missionary Childhood Association (MCA) helps our children, youth and their families in all three areas. The program is inspired by “Children helping Children.” We pray, fast and give alms for others.

This year we have new and old tools to improve your experience. Thank you for all you do to share the missionary spirit with the children, youth and families in your parish, school and beyond.
