• The third Lenten Pillar is almsgiving. Almsgiving is an act of charity, showing compassion for others and helping those in need. While we often think of almsgiving as donating money or goods, it also can include donating your time and talents.

      Almsgiving, of course, should not stop at Easter, but is meant to be a year-round exercise. By caring for others and sharing our treasure, time, and talents with those who are in need, you are participating in the work of Christ here on earth.

      What is one way that you can give during this Lenten season, which involves your time and talents?
