Regulations for Fast and Abstinence
Good Friday,
April 2nd is a day of fast and abstinence.
Fridays of Lent are also days of
abstinence.
Fasting is to be observed
by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th
birthday. On a fast day, one full meal
is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient
to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together
they should not equal another full meal.
Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and
juices, are allowed.
Abstinence is observed by all
14 years of age and older. On days of
abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note
that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does
not oblige. When in doubt concerning
fast and abstinence, Fr. Mark should be consulted.
Pastor’s
Notes
Bishop McCormack has assigned
me to do an additional term of two years as Dean of the Capital Deanery, so it
looks like I don't get to return to my status of "Rev." just
yet. Keep praying for this "Very
Rev." - I'm going to need the prayers.
Don't forget that next
weekend we change our clocks - Spring Forward one hour! Oh, that 7:30 a.m. Mass is going to be
tough!!
From this point forward it is
the wish of the bishop that all scripture will be proclaimed by trained lectors
for all liturgical celebrations including weddings and funerals. Many of our lectors have already volunteered
for these new responsibilities. Please
contact the office if you are available to read for weddings or funerals.
