Forty Days – Forty Items As you prayerfully consider your Lenten journey this year, we encourage you to participate in the Forty Days – Forty Items clothing drive. Each day of Lent, beginning on March 5, remove one item from your closet that you no longer wear or need and put it into a trash bag. At the end of forty days donate these items to St. Vincent dePaul Clothing Drive which will have its truck at St. Thomas a’Becket the weekend after Easter, April 26 and 27.
