This is a wonderful way to begin our observance of Lent by gathering as a parish family. Come and join us. Fasting means eating approximately the equivalent of one full meal during the course of the day. Abstinence also applies on Ash Wednesday. Friday abstinence means avoiding meat.
Meat includes poultry.
Fish and seafood are permitted. Obviously exemptions are made to both fasting and abstinence for reasons of health. If you have a question please call the parish office. We are starting a new ministry, Hope, for victims of domestic violence. There will be an organizational meeting on Monday Feb. 19th in the Chapel.
