Who will win the golden halo!? Join us as Fr. Greg Larkin leads this fun “tournament” of the Saints. Here’s how Lent Madness works: on the weekdays of Lent, information is posted at www.lentmadness.org about two different saints. Each pairing remains open for 24 hours as participants read about and then vote to determine which saint moves on to the next round. Fill in your “brackets” and see how you fare! This is a unique opportunity to learn about the Saints and have some light-hearted competition. We will teach you how to participate, and meet up weekly to discuss and learn!
