Join Tim and Scott for the one and only pre-season episode of Lent Madness 2023. Or, if you're fancy, are a Roman gladiator, or think of Lent as the Super Bowl of the church year, you can call it Lent Madness XIV. In this episode, the Supreme Executive Committee shares some exciting news about a new location for 50% of the Lent Madness governing body (Spoiler Alert: Scott's still in Cincinnati).
As you watch, you might be inspired to visit the Lent Madness website and fill out an online bracket. If you do this, you can track your bracket-picking success compared with the rest of the Lent Madness global viewing public online. While the Lentorium is sold out of giant bracket posters, you can print your own giant bracket using the free image.
Whether you're using a beautiful professionally made giant bracket poster or a quick do-it-yourself special, why ruin it with your own semi-legible handwriting? Thanks to Fr. David Simmons of Waukesha, WI, we have a lovely label sheet for you to download FOR FREE. Just print out this sheet onto Avery 5160 labels, and your bracket will be museum-ready.
Please do invite your friends and neighbors to play Lent Madness. But don't forget to get yourself to church on Ash Wednesday to get your Lent off to the right start. Then enjoy the rest of the season as you alternate between repenting and voting.
See you on Ash Thursday (February 23) as Augustine of Hippo takes on Hippolytus on Opening Day of Lent Madness 2023!
This is here for social media sharing, or maybe you prefer to print out 50 copies and use it to start the new fire of Easter.

So excited to see Lent Madness is coming soon! Good to see Scott and Tim again as well. Wishing you all a Happy Lent!
Thank you all. This is my second year; I enjoyed, learned from you and I am looking forward to this year’s Lent Madness.
Lets get going
Thanks to both of you for your research and oh so serious introduction to Lent Madness XIV. Can't wait! Blessings.
Looking forward to each day - - - I love being reminded of the historically great heroes of faith.
SO GLAD to see you both again this year!
So good to see the two of you together (by zoom) again and looking forward to another exciting Lent Madness saintly competition.
Let the games begin!
Can't print the match up calendar.
I love Lent Madness!
My 1st. time & Im enjoying it very much!!
Would you please make the matchup calendar printable for those of us who somehow did NOT get the Saintly Scoreboard ordered. Not sure what happened - some snafu!
Thanks,
Marsha
So looking forward to this years competition!Iri
Whee!! Lent Madness starts again!
When does the voting end each day? I work until 10pm & don't get home until 11pm some days. I don't usually vote every day, but I do try harder every year as my favs get voted off. I hope Florence goes all the way this year as my sister & her daughter are both nurses. And another sister & her daughter are teachers. I had a son, but he is better than any daughter would've been.
TY for doing what you do so well, Praise God for our gifts - to Him goes all Glory!
Every battle is open for 24 hours. 8 am to 8 am Eastern time.
