Fasting & Abstinence:
All Catholics who are 14 years and older

consists of eating one full meal and two smaller meals that don’t
add up to a single full meal. On Good Friday adults who are
18-59 years old and in good health are to fast and abstain from
eating meat.

Reflect on the daily Scripture readings
and 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 the weekends of March
29-30th, and April 5- 6th. You can also donate at Give Central.
