Additional Confessions

During the season of Lent, our parish will be offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. as well as the usual Saturday 8:30 a.m. time.

Fasting & Abstinence

Fasting: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics.  For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

Abstinence: Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.
