Church Lenten Fast Laws: On all the days of Lent except Sundays, only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is forbidden, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices, are allowed. No meat is permitted on Fridays, Ash Wednesday or Holy Saturday. Expectant and nursing mothers, teachers, and those engaged in heavy manual labor are exempt. Where health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. In case of doubt, please consult Father.
Ash Wednesday: is a day of complete abstinence from meat for all baptized Catholics seven years and older. Please note the special schedule. Ashes will also be distributed next Sunday.
Lenten Fast: All baptized Catholics between the ages of 21 and 59 are bound to observe the Church laws of fast beginning on Ash Wednesday, unless lawfully excused. Please take note of these rules in today's bulletin.
Summer Catechism Camp: The Sisters will conduct our Catechism Camp from July 13-17 at the rectory. Please make plans for your young adults and children to attend. Please also pray for its spiritual success and for comfortable weather.
Blessed Candles: are available for a donation of $5.00. They are used in time of sickness, for protection in storms, earthquakes, etc, as well as for family prayers and devotion.
