Lent is more than a season on the Church's calendar. It is an invitation to return to the heart of God. In this episode we explore Lent as a sacred journey of honesty, renewal, and quite transformation. We'll consider how the spirit of Lent can shape the Religious Life of the School and the teaching of Religious Education in ways that are authentic, age-appropriate, and spiritually formative. This episode invites educators to lead from the inside out - to model faith that is lived before it is taught and making their classroom become places where transformation is possible.
