Lent as a Journey of Conversion: What Does it Really Mean?
Lent invites us to confront the reality of our human condition, marked by original sin and its ripple effects in our daily struggles, while guiding us toward the joy of Easter, where we celebrate Christ’s triumph over sin and death. The Church invites us not merely to observe this victory as someone else’s, but to become recipients of God’s grace made available through the gift of Redemption.

Faith Quest is an annual Lenten adult education and faith formation series offered through a collaboration of the four West Essex cluster parishes: Saint Aloysius, Notre Dame, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, and Saint Thomas More. Since 2007, Faith Quest has invited adults to deepen their faith through learning, reflection, and community.
Faith Quest 2026 will be hosted by Saint Aloysius Parish, 219 Bloomfield Avenue, Caldwell, NJ. Sessions will take place from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the parish gym. Participants may attend in person or virtually.
Registration is requested to assist with planning; however, no one will be turned away.
