“Pray to draw closer to the Lord as the center of your life and the reason you do everything.” Bishop Barron
Along with Prayer, Fasting is one of the hallmarks of the Lenten season.
The Bishops of the United States prescribe, as minimal obligation, that all persons who are:
2. Eighteen years of age and older, up to and including their 59th birthday, are bound to fast by limiting themselves to a single full meal on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday, while the other meals on those days are to be light.
Along with Prayer and Abstinence, Almsgiving is an important part of our Lenten journey.
We start out giving to those in need by our Ash Wednesday collection which is earmarked for the Blessed Margaret Home for women with crisis pregnancies.
Before she retired, parishioner Pam Barnett administered the home and made it the respected pro-life program that it is today. So, please support the Blessed Margaret Home and look for ways to support other worthwhile charities.
We also recommend Operation Rice Bowl which combines the three elements of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Rice Bowls are available at the doors of the Church.
