March 15, 2026 – 4th Sunday of Lent/Laetare Sunday

This Sunday is called Laetare Sunday. Laetare (like Gaudete in Advent) means “rejoice” in Latin. It is a day of joy during a penitential season. Priests may wear rose-colored vestments. We rejoice that Easter is drawing near!

In the next two weeks, we honor both of Jesus’ earthly parents. The Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is celebrated this Thursday, March 19. We celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord next Wednesday, March 25. On this day, we remember Mary’s yes to God’s invitation to become the mother of his Son. […]

Every week in the GROW newsletter, you will find helpful tips for teaching your Gospel Weeklies lesson, a reflection on the Sunday Gospel, and links to online resources. […] [READ MORE]
