What a wonderful message for Lent! Back in 2023, when we were filming our original Walking With Christ series (linked in our bio), we visited St. Kilian Catholic Church in Mission Viejo to learn about the art of the Lenten Fish Fry. Fr. Tuan Pham, now a Parochial Administrator at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Irvine, was at the time not only serving the Catholic community as a priest in Mision Viejo but was also a Chef de Cuisine at St. Kilian's Fish Fry!

This Lent, Catholic Charities of Orange County invites you to embark on a journey of hope, renewal, and giving. Together, let us embrace the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, as we grow closer to Christ.

To deepen your spiritual journey, we are excited to introduce our Walking with Christ video series - a powerful resource to guide you through this season of reflection. 

As we prepare for Easter, we also encourage you to support our Easter Giving Campaign. Your generous donations will directly impact our New Hope Counseling Services, and our Cantlay Food Distribution Center to help those in need in our community and bring hope to countless lives.
