LENT IS APPROACHING
Lenten Regulations of Fasting and Abstinence
Fasting and abstinence are customs of self-denial meant to simplify one's life so that freed from all distractions, we may hear and respond to God's continued call to conversion and holiness.
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 inclusive. On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to one's needs, but together should not equal another full meal.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics who are 14 years of age or older. Ash Wednesday, all Fridays of Lent, and Good Friday are days of abstinence.
Pastoral Note: Persons unable to observe the above regulations due to health or other serious reasons may practice other forms of self-denial that are suitable to their condition.
Mass Times
7:00 AM
11:00 AM
6:00 PM
Note: Ashes will be distributed during Mass.
This is a Holy Day of Obligation. All Masses will be celebrated in the main church.
