Everyone in the Mercy community is invited to participate in Mercy Meatless Mondays throughout Lent. By choosing vegetarian options for two days each week, instead of just on Fridays as is traditional for many Catholics, we commit ourselves to a healthier planet. The Lenten edition of the resource includes 14 delicious, meatless recipes submitted by Mercy Earth Challenge participants.
