Lent is a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as the preparation for Easter. It is very important, that every Catholic will attend the sacrament of confession before Easter.

During the Lent we can help poor people through the Caritas Finland. The Lenten Collection 2025 supports those in need in Finland. Caritas helps migrants, the lonely and low-income families. Your donation enables camp support for children and youth, Christmas gift cards, and personal guidance and counseling. You can donate via Caritas website www.caritas.fi, directly to Caritas’ bank account or to the donation box in the church.
