The season of Lent holds deep meaning for many within our community. For those who observe it, Lent is a time of reflection, renewal, and preparation – a season devoted to mindfulness, personal growth, and acts of compassion. 

Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and reflection, modeled after Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. The season invites Christians to spiritual renewal, repentance, and preparation for Easter through prayer, fasting, and acts of charity. 

In 2026, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18, and concludes on Holy Thursday, April 2, leading up to Easter Sunday on April 5. 

Whether you participate in Lent through prayer, reflection, fasting, service to others, or simply by taking time for personal introspection, RRC Polytech honours the significance this season carries. 

Wishing all who observe a meaningful Lenten season.
