The celebration of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the most important feast on the Catholic calendar. That is why we have 40 days of Lent, to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate the mystery of Christ’s Passover. Easter is the glorious finale to that Lenten journey. 

Because of COVID-19, our Lent and Easter celebrations this year are housebound—but we mustn't lose hope! Hope is an invaluable resource in uncertain times. It is Franciscan Media’s mission to be a source of hope and healing for those who need it. Offering these free resources would not be possible without support from people like yourself. We depend on the generosity of others to help us spread the Gospel in the spirit of our founder, St. Francis of Assisi. 

There has never been a better time to donate! Thanks to the Beracha Fund, your donation will be matched four-to-one. Also, if you make a donation over $100, Franciscan Media will send you two boxes of Monks Bread biscotti and one loaf of Monks' Bread as a thank-you gift!

Enjoy this message from Father Clifford Hennings, OFM, who suggests ways to keep the joyous Easter season year-round.

Thank you in advance for partnering with us in this great mission!

Peace and every blessing, 

Fr. Dan Kroger, OFM
