Penetential Practices during Lent

Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence.

Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence

All Fridays during Lent, are days of abstinence.

“Fast” means that, if you are 18 years old or older, but under 60 years old, you may take only one full meal and two smaller meals that, taken together, do not equal one full meal.

“Abstinence” means that if you are 16 years old or older, you are to refrain from meat.

Changes in the Liturgical Schedule During Lent

During Lent, the weekday (Monday through Friday) evening Mass will be at 5:30pm instead of 5pm in order for people who are working to get to Mass.

Also, during Lent, we will have an extra Mass at 12:00 PM on Wednesdays followed by a simple Lenten lunch in the Church hall.
This will begin on Wednesday, March 9^th and will continue until the Wednesday before Holy Week, April 13^th.

Stations of the Cross will be held at 7:00 PM on Fridays
