What Utahns can give up for Lent — after sacrificing so much during the pandemic

Pastors suggest a focus on lessons learned, loved ones lost and an increased devotion to friends, family and God — and an eagerness to reconnect with all of them.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Rev. Roberto Montoro celebrates Mass on Ash Wednesday as the first day of Lent at Sacred Heart Church in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021. Instead of making a sign of the cross on people's foreheads, Montoro sprinkles ashes on top of congregants' heads due to the coronavirus pandemic.
