Fasting & Abstinence: Adults who are 18-59 years old and in good
health are to fast and abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday
and Good Friday. Fasting consists of eating one full meal and two
smaller meals that don’t add up to a single full meal. All Catholics
who are 14 years and older are to abstain from eating meat on
Ash Wednesday and all Fridays in Lent.
Lenten Reflection Books: Reflect daily on the Scripture readings and
other traditions of Lent using the booklets that are available in the
church vestibule.
Alms: Learn about our disadvantaged brothers and sisters around the
world and give alms to improve their lives with Catholic Relief Services
Operation Rice Bowl. Pick up a calendar of reflections, recipes and
activities along with a box in which to put your donations and return the
box with your donations on March 11, 12, 18, or 19. You can also donate
using text-to-give by texting “ricebowl” to 847-262-4981.

in Lent for a communal meal and time-honored prayer ritual. Soup and
bread are served at 6:30pm in the lunch room; Stations of the Cross
are prayed in church at 7:30pm. This Friday, February 24, Ministerio
Hispano will provide soup and the Rosary Group will lead the Stations.
