Prayer and Reflection

On Thursday, April 10, the Lenten Station at the Basilica of Saint Apollinaris brought together clergy, students, and other faithful for a solemn moment of prayer and reflection. The stational Mass, celebrated at 12:30 pm, was presided over by Fr. Philip Goyret, continuing a cherished tradition of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter. The Basilica, home to the University Chaplaincy, provided a sacred space for attendees to engage in worship and strengthen their faith, emphasizing the deep connection between theological study and devotion.

Lenten Stations are part of an ancient practice in Rome, where faithful visit designated churches to pray and participate in Mass during the season of Lent. These stations serve as moments of communal reflection, guiding believers in their spiritual journey toward Easter.
