All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Catholics who are 14 years or older should abstain from meat entirely.  Soups and gravies made from meat are permitted.
Good Friday is a  day of fasting/abstinence. Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are permitted one full meal and two lesser meals (which together should not equal one full meal), with no eating between meals.

Parish Penitential Service Wednesday, March 20th at 7:00 pm
During a communal penance service, the priests in a local area convene at one church to hear individual confessions. This communal gathering highlights the ecclesial nature of penance. The faithful unite to listen to the word of God, which heralds His mercy and calls for conversion. Everyone gathers together in a single place, and listens to a special reading from the Bible, often followed by a brief homily. After the homily, everyone may recite an Act of Contrition and then get in line for individual confession. It’s important to note that a communal penance service does not involve a communal confession of sins or a communal absolution. Instead, the Penance Service is focused on individual confession and absolution. We hope you will take time as a family to join us for our Parish Penitential Service this Lent. We will have 9 priests available for individual confessions.

“Entering into the Mystery: Reverence and Sacred Silence”
As part of the Eucharistic Revival, the Diocese has released a video series titled “The Catholic Mass Explained.”  Please watch this video where Bishop Pohlmeier will explore how the Mass calls us to engage both our bodies and our souls.  He will give practical suggestions for having an intentional encounter every time we celebrate Mass.  Important to remember is that reverence is both internal and external.  Both of these concepts are fed by moments of silence as well as the gestures particular to the Mass.

The Eucharistic Revival is a time for us to focus our energies on the central and important place that the Eucharist has in our lives as Catholics.  During this season of grace, our parish will be offering many opportunities to renew this focus on the Eucharist.
