2026 Footsteps to the Cross Lenten Calendar:

‘Give alms…pray to your Father…fast, [but] do not look gloomy’ (Matthew 6:2-16)

Each Lent, we are asked to focus especially on prayer, fasting and almsgiving. These three pillars help us grow in faith and prepare as we journey towards Easter. Before Lent begins, use these three pillars to decide on your Lenten Promises, then follow this calendar to guide your personal journey during this Lenten period.

Designed for children but suitable for all the family, Footsteps to the Cross Lenten Calendar provides a simple daily reflection, prayer or activity to help guide your journey towards Easter.
