Lenten Regulations
The days of penance to be observed under obligation are Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of the Lenten season. Abstinence from meat is to be observed on all Fridays of Lent. Both abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
The law of abstinence: Forbids the consumption of meat and binds those who have celebrated their 14th birthday. The law of fasting: Permits only one full meal a day and binds those who have celebrated their 18th birthday and continues until they have celebrated their 59th birthday. Pastors and parents should take particular care to educate the young to a true sense of penance and self-discipline. More frequent use of the Sacrament of Penance and attendance at daily Mass should be encouraged during Lent, as well as other practices of penance and self-sacrifice.

Announcements
Lenten prayer booklets and CRS Rice Bowls are available in the vestibule of the church. Please contact the office if you would like to receive a booklet in the mail.

Bishop Barron's Lent Reflections from Word on Fire Ministries are available on the Faith Resources page of this website. The content will update daily throughout Lent.
