Lent at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, Atlanta, is marked with community events and individual opportunities to deepen one’s faith life. We journey together as the 40 days with prayer, fasting and almsgiving leads to Holy Week and Easter. We invite you to share the faith-filled Lenten journey with our Atlanta Catholic community.
