LENTEN SEASON

Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019: Mass and ashes at 8am, 10am, and 7pm
Did you know that the Church asks us to sacrifice and fast a mere two days a year? One of the fasting days is Ash Wednesday; the other is Good Friday.

• adults ages 18 to 59 (medical conditions excepted -- discuss with a priest if you have a concern) 
• only one full meal
• Two other smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength but together not equaling another full meal, are allowed.
• Eating between meals is not permitted during a fast, but liquids (including milk and juices) are allowed.

On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, we are not only supposed to fast, but we are also supposed to abstain from meat.

• anyone 14 years old and older
• abstain from meat on all Fridays

What an excellent model of faith you will be if you are able to follow the fast; discuss it with your children, especially how you deal with temptation when hunger or cravings hit. Hopefully, that coping mechanism will include saying some prayers because that’s one purpose of the fast.

Healing Mass, March 12, 2019, 7:00pm
Healing was a huge part of Jesus’ ministry on earth. During Lent, you are supposed to take life slower, pray and meditate, and rest and heal. Come to the healing Mass if you are suffering physically, emotionally, or psychologically.
