St. George’s Lenten Outreach 2026 - Supporting Amica Center for Immigrant Rights
It is a long-standing tradition of St. George’s to encourage parishioners to participate in St. George’s Lenten Outreach Project supporting organizations chosen by St. George's Justice League. All are encouraged to set aside a dollar or fifty cents or whatever you can for each of the forty days of Lent as a spiritual practice. This year the Justice League has chosen the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights as recipient of our donation. Amica aims to help as many people as possible navigate the immigration system safely and effectively, standing with those trapped in our nation’s fundamentally flawed immigration system. There are envelopes on the credenza or you can give online. We hope to have a generous amount to contribute at Easter.

Tell Me Something Good Lenten Program Starts This Monday

And let that good news inspire us to take action in a world desperate to hear, see, and taste what is good.” Booklets with readings, art, and music are available to anyone who would like them along with a set of daily devotional cards.
