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? Fasting is to consume a maximum of one full meal and two small meals that do not add up to one meal.
Also, there is no snacking. Catholics 18 to 58 are obliged to fast.
What does it mean to abstain from meat? One does not consume mammals and fowl. Fish is okay. Roman Catholics who are
14 years of age and older are obliged to practice abstinence. Disabled or feeble, pregnant women and nursing mothers are exempt.
Why should we fast, abstain, pray and give? We do this as a form of personal penance, as a way to humble ourselves before. God. Our desires
become a reminder of our deep desire for our loving and merciful God. To give is to live out our mission to serve others and to be in
communion with each other.
SPECIAL PARKING NOTICE: Palm Sunday (March 29) & Easter Sunday (April 5)
In order to handle increased parking needs on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, all cars will enter the structure via the Hill Street entrance only.

On Good Friday, all Christians are united in a special way
to the Holy Land.
The proceeds from the Good Friday Collection go to the Franciscan
Custody of the Holy Land. The Franciscans have been caring for the
holy sites there since 1209. They also assist the poor, run schools,
provide scholarships, and conduct pastoral ministries to keep
Christianity alive in the land where it originated. The continued
existence of these programs supporting Christians in the Holy Land
depends on the faithful financial support received from our brothers
and sisters in Christ from the Good Friday collection.
Thank you for your generosity.

¿SABÍA USTED?
Es saludable enseñar a los niños sobre la seguridad personal
y los límites del contacto físico con otros
Enseñar a los niños sobre los límites y cuando un contacto físico
con otros es seguro no es educación sexual. Hay muchos temas de
seguridad que enseñamos a los niños: seguridad en las bicicletas,
seguridad en el agua, prevención de incendios, entrenamiento para
conducir, etc.
Los programas de seguridad personal deben contar con lecciones apropiadas para la edad, que les brinde a los niños la información que ellos
necesitan para protegerse sin asustarlos. Mantener a los niños sin el
conocimiento de los peligros a su alrededor no los mantiene seguros.
Los predadores cuentan con que los niños no saben lo que hacen.
