March 7The Confirmation Class is doing a pre-Lent project which will include essentials for those less fortunate. There will be boxes in the entrances to the church to leave any supplies from the following list: new socks for men and women, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, regular wipes, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, and shampoos/conditioners. There will also be a can if you would like to donate toward this cause. Whatever supplies are still needed will be purchased. This project was selected after last week’s Gospel when Jesus reminds us to do for others as we would want done for us. In our own backyard, we would like to help with essential supplies. God bless you for your continued support – The Confirmation ClassRead More

February 27Abstinence from meat (beast or fowl) is to be observed by all Catholics fourteen years old and older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent. This obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs, milk products, or condiments of any kind, even though made from animal fat. Fasting means limiting oneself to one full meal on a given fast day. Catholics who are eighteen years of age but not yet fifty-nine are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On fast days, two additional smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength. However, the two smaller meals together may not equal one full meal. Moreover, eating solid foods between meals on fast days is not permitted.Read More
