A Season of Giving: The Progression of Our Lenten Cross Program
Lent is a sacred time of reflection, sacrifice, and generosity—a season where we are called to serve others with open hearts. At House of Mercy, we are deeply grateful for the incredible support of our Lenten Cross Program, which continues to grow thanks to the generosity of our local parishes, schools, and organizations.
This program offers a meaningful way to give, serve, and pray, ensuring that families in need receive essential support during this season of renewal. Through the Lenten Cross, community members can take a tag and fulfill a donation request—whether it’s groceries, toiletries, children’s underwear, or a financial contribution. These gifts, big or small, make a tangible difference in the lives of those struggling in our community.
