We arrive at Easter by way of a 40 day journey of devotion we call Lent. We had our usual events. There was the Rite of Election for those about to be received in the Church at the Easter Vigil. We recall too the Lenten Missions both on New Providence and Grand Bahama, led by Bishop Kendrick Forbes. The midday Biblical Reflections added to opportunities for our spiritual growth during this Lent.

This year, Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday: April 13, 2025 and ends on Easter Sunday: April 20, 2025.
