FASTING and ABSTINENCE
The law of abstinence obliges those 14 years of age and older not to eat meat.
The law of fast obliges all those from 18 through 59 to refrain from eating between meals and to limit their eating to one full meal and two light meals for the day.
Ash Wednesday, February 6, and Good Friday, March 21, are days of both fast and abstinence. In the United States, all Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
OPERATION RICE BOWL: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our parish’s participation in Operation Rice Bowl, a Lenten Program of prayer, fasting, education and almsgiving sponsored by Catholic Relief Services and our diocese. CRS was founded in 1943 and is the official overseas relief and development agency of the United States Catholic Community. Everyone is urged to take part.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS AND LENTEN SUPPER:
Friday evenings during Lent, Stations of the Cross will be held at 7:00 p.m., followed by a light meal. We invite you to share in preparing for the death and resurrection of Our Lord by walking this road to Calvary each Friday. There is no charge for the meal; offerings, however, are accepted.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW FOR THESE UPCOMING EVENTS
