Lenten Almsgiving Calendar 2026

Lenten Almsgiving Calendar, 2026

In the spirit of St. Francis, we offer you a Printable Lenten Almsgiving Calendar focused on the Franciscan charism.

Each day of Lent will invite reflection and a small, concrete act of charity, simple gestures that shape generous hearts and strengthen our bonds as a Franciscan family. This calendar is not merely a guide for giving; it is an invitation into relationship.

A culture of philanthropy begins not with a transaction, but with shared mission. When you support the friars, you are not standing outside our work you are part of it. Your prayers sustain our vocations. Your generosity forms future friars. Your compassion makes possible our ministry to the poor, the marginalized, and those searching for God.

As you move through this Lenten season, we invite you to:

  • Pray with us, for our friars, our vocations, and all those we serve.
  • Walk with us, using the Lenten Almsgiving Calendar as a daily companion.
  • Share with us, offering your gifts in gratitude for all God has entrusted to you.
