Lent Is For Lovers


February 14, 2018

The Dominican Friars of St. Gertrude Parish in Cincinnati, OH have developed a unique preaching program for the season of Lent: Lent Is For Lovers. Drawing on the coincidence of Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day falling on the same day, the program includes both daily Lenten reflections posted on YouTube as well as several talks and a Parish Mission drawing on the theme of how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving grows out of love.

On February 13, Fr. Gabriel Torretta, O.P. was interviewed by the Cincinnati Evening News on ABC9 about the program:
