The Lenten Journey is one which we travel together.

"Abide with us, that so, this life
of suff'ring over past,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last."

(C.F. Hernaman)

Each year, the clergy of the Diocese of Ontario gather during Holy Week for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist that includes the prayers and promises of the renewal of their vows and the blessing of oils.
