Ashes will be imposed only during Mass and during the Prayer Services. Children who have not yet received the Sacrament of Reconciliation should not receive ashes because of their limited sense of personal sin.
If you know any Catholic who cannot get to one of the Masses or prayer services but who would like to receive ashes, please call the rectory and let us know.
Lenten Regulations
During the season of Lent, the Church urges all the faithful to reflect a spirit of penance in their daily life through performing acts of fast and abstinence.
“Fasting” requires that only one full meal be taken per day. Two other smaller meals are to be taken during the day to maintain physical strength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in quantity. Fasting obliges all those who have reached the age of 18 and continues to oblige until age 59. Those not specifically obliged to fast are encouraged to join in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able.
“Abstinence” prohibits individuals from eating meat on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all those who have reached the age of 14 and continues to oblige throughout their entire life. Those not specifically obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in this discipline to the extent that they are able.
ASH WEDNESDAY and GOOD FRIDAY are days of
fast and abstinence.FRIDAYS in Lent are days of
