Lent and Holy Week 2026 at St. Aidan’s
In 2026, St. Aidan’s walks a clear and nourishing spiritual arc: from Lent’s invitation to “let go for the sake of love,” through Holy Week’s outpouring, into Eastertide’s discovery of how resurrection is lived over time. Early Summer deepens this through the witness of the saints, teaching us that risen life grows patiently and imperfectly in real human stories. By late summer and fall, this formation blossoms into mission as we become a community both rooted and sent, tending the field God has entrusted to us. Each season builds on the one before it, shaping us as a people learning to follow Christ with courage, offering, and joy.
Lent calls to us. We shall see you there.

Thoughts on a Lenten Rule
by Fr. Steve Wengrovius, Priest Associate
For centuries, Christians have kept a Lenten Rule as a way to prepare their hearts and souls for Easter. Rather than a rigid set of obligations, a Lenten Rule is an intentional framework for prayer, fasting, and self-denial that helps re-establish Godly priorities and deepen our awareness of God’s love. Fr. Steve Wengrovius reflects on how crafting a Lenten Rule can shape our spiritual growth and draw us closer to Christ.

The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Day is a journey we take with Jesus through the moments of his passion, death, and resurrection. There is no week like this in our year, and it is worth taking your time to participate and come to services.
At 5:30pm on March 27, we’ll have a special time with kids to observe, in a kid-friendly way, the moments of Holy Week. This will take less than an hour. Grownups are welcome, too.

for schemes are vain and fretting brings no gain.
