Lenten Books Available At the doors of the church this weekend (2/18, 2/19), The Little Black Books are available. Produced by the Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, The Little Black Books contain a six minute meditation for every day of the Lenten Season. As such these booklets have become a popular and practical way for even the busiest Catholic to set aside some time each day during the Lenten Season.
