This year Lent looks a little different, but that doesn’t stop us connecting with our parishioners online. Here are four things you can do to share Million Minutes siLENT in your parish today.
1. Place a notice in the parish newsletter
Place a notice about siLENT in the parish newsletter for two or three weeks in a row, to make sure that parishioners who miss looking at the newsletter one week might see it the next week.

2. Mention siLENT during Online Mass
Ask your priest to mention siLENT during Masses on the weekends of 27/28 February and 6/7 March, so that more people might hear about it and to remind parishioners that they can give online.
3. Post our stories of change story on social media
Ask your parish Facebook administrator to place posts on your Facebook page to let people know about Shanea’s story, and invite parishioners to give to the Lent appeal, using these special parish resources on our website.

4. Share the siLENT video
Ask if Million Minutes 10 years of deafening silence video could be placed on your parish website and on the Facebook page. If your parish livestreams Mass you could also ask if the Million Minutes video can be played at the end of Mass or a donation link placed on the stream platform.
