The Diocese of Calgary is on a journey of Renewal—but Renewal isn’t about programs or plans. Renewal begins with you.
​
A personal Renewal draws us closer to Jesus, and when we grow in Him, we become better disciples. This Lent, we invite you to take up the challenge of personal Renewal. No pressure, no perfection—just a step toward Christ.  

Consider these simple ways to pray for renewal in our heart, our parish, and our diocese this Lenten season:

• Pray daily the Holy Spirit Prayer, asking for Renewal in your heart, parish, and diocese.
• Pray the Rosary with the intention of Renewal.
• Offer up a Mass—try attending a weekday Mass.
• Spend time in Adoration, resting in Christ’s presence.
• Pray the Way of the Cross, reflecting on His sacrifice.
• Practice Friday abstinence or fasting as an offering for Renewal.
• Simply pray: "Holy Spirit, show me what I can do for Renewal."
