Lenten Reminders
When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you. Mt. 6:18
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence.
What does it mean to fast? According to Canon Law, the law of fasting allows only one full meal or two small meals a day.
What does it mean to abstain from meat? According to Canon Law, the law of abstinence forbids the use of meat. Roman Catholics who are
14 years of age and older are bound to abstain from meat. Disabled or feeble, pregnant women and nursing mothers are exempt.
Why should we fast? The earliest and most often cited purpose of fasting is penance, that is, atonement for sin. Through fasting we
humble ourselves before God – setting aside that which sustains us and gives us pleasure – and turn ourselves toward our merciful Lord.

all proceeds to directly assisting parishes and schools. Your gift
provides parishes and schools with the resources needed for ministry
of the sacraments, a quality education, hope, inspiration, and stronger

The strength of the Church is not in numbers, but in love. Your
contribution, large or small, is the one that matters. God calls each
of us by name to support and care for one another. Answer the call
today and give generously to Together in Mission.
At our Masses on February 8th, we will offer more detailed
