International Women’s Day is a chance to celebrate the progress we’ve made, and to recognize that the work toward true equality and equity isn’t finished yet. But every year, every voice, and every act of support moves us closer.

Today we celebrate the women who make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.
And we keep building. Together.

Many people in our community will begin the Lenten season today, Ash Wednesday.

Lent is a 40-day Christian solemn season of preparation for Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending before Easter Sunday. It focuses on reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

“Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church, for each community and every believer. Above all it is a time of grace.” - Pope Francis
