The Church Is Open: Lent continues The Church Is Open series with quiet, story-shaped reflections rooted in the life of a city parish that keeps its doors open when faith feels fragile and answers are scarce.
This is not a manual for Lent.
It’s a reminder that presence matters, imperfection belongs, and the church is still open.
