Lent 2026
This year’s Trocaire Lent Campaign
accompanies a three-generation family in rural Rwanda, led by Uwamahoro, a young mother supporting her daughter, niece and elderly mother. Through their story, parish communities are invited to reflect on themes of resilience, care for our common home, and the dignity of every person in the face of poverty caused by climate injustice. Their lived experience helps bring the Sunday Gospels to life and connects faith with the call to solidarity.
With homily notes, prayers of the faithful, newsletter content and parish-friendly reflections for each Sunday of Lent, these resources offer practical support for preaching, liturgy preparation and parish engagement. They enable priests and parish teams to accompany parishioners in responding to the Gospel through prayer, generosity and action, making Lent a time of shared faith, compassion and hope.
