Lent is upon us...

The season of Lent which precedes Easter begins tomorrow (I think!) [correction: it begins Thursday - read Cheryl's explanation by clicking on comments]. If you are interested in reading more about Lent, check out the "Lent" entry in the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Typically, the Sabbath day is a day 'off' from whatever you are fasting from throughout Lent. If you consider Sunday your Sabbath, we would love to provide whatever you are fasting from! For example, if you are fasting from chocolate for Lent, it would be great to have chocolate for snacks at TILT for your Sabbath enjoyment! So, either post a comment here or let us know at TILT!

Spring Garden will also have a labyrinth walk available for public use throughout the Lent season. Read a bit about labyrinths here. Here are the weekly days, times and locations:

• Mondays | 12noon- 4pm | Cloakroom, multi-purpose room
• Tuesdays | 9am- 4pm | Lounge, multi-purpose room
• Thursdays | 12 noon- 9 pm | Boardroom
• Fridays | 9am-3pm | Boardroom, multi-purpose room
• Saturdays | 1pm-4pm | Boardroom, multi-purpose room
• Sundays | 1pm-8:30 pm | Boardroom, Cloakroom

The Catholic Encyclopedia

The Catholic Encyclopedia is the ultimate resource in all things Catholic. Although we may not agree with some of the specific beliefs of our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ, it would be unwise to throw out the entire wealth of Catholic resources, knowledge, writing and spiritual practices as a result. For those of us not from a Catholic background, there is much to learn from this longstanding institution. No matter how you cut it, we ALL stem from a Catholic background seeing as it was the only Christian institution for over a thousand years. The site has a full encyclopedia, the "summa" (summary of Catholic beliefs), as well as an interesting blog. Go to The Catholic Encyclopedia.
