Throughout Lent:

Forty Days/Forty Items
St. Vincent De Paul Society has created a new initiative to declutter 40 items from your home – from your life. Each day during the 40 days of Lent, place an item in a bag. After Easter, donate the bag to St. Vincent de Paul at 2309 Ferguson Road, Cincinnati, where the merchandise will be sold or given away at one of their thrift stores to help neighbors in need. For questions, click here or Call 562-8841 for free bags.

Shroud Encounter is a dramatic big screen experience and in-depth exploration into the mysteries of the Shroud of Turin. Using a CSI approach, audiences are taken on a thought provoking adventure through early church history, ancient art, modern science, and medical forensics.

Could the Shroud be the most important archaeological artifact ever found, or is it just a medieval fake? Does it provide clues to what happened during the crucifixion and resurrection, or is it just a pious art work created to represent these events? After thousands of hours of scientific analysis, the Shroud remains a profound mystery.
