Our Lenten Journey

In this special episode of Flight of the Firebirds, religion teacher Mr. Shaun Moran '04 sits down with chemistry teacher Mrs. Kacie Anthony '16 and students Riley James '26 and James Hartery '26 to reflect on the journey through Lent and the start of Holy Week—a time when sorrow and celebration begin to intertwine. The group shares their personal Lenten sacrifices and spiritual practices, from giving up daily coffee runs to reducing screen time, while also deepening their prayer lives with the rosary and attending Mass. Together, they explore cherished Palm Sunday traditions, like receiving palms, crafting palm crosses, and preparing spiritually for the Holy Week liturgies. Mrs. Anthony offers a heartfelt insight into her family’s faith journey as her husband, raised Lutheran, prepares for his conversion to Catholicism at the Easter Vigil. The conversation helps us navigate the transition from preparation to welcome, offering a powerful reminder to carry the joy of the Resurrection throughout the year.
