FASTING ON GOOD FRIDAY

Fasting means having only one full meal to maintain one’s strength. Two smaller, meatless and penitential meals are permitted according to one’s needs, but they should not together equal the one full meal. Eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. Catholics from age 18 through 59 are bound to fast. Again, invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.

Our Mother of Sorrows — Lenten Penance ServiceWednesday, March 20th 6:00 pm

Reconciliation is an invitation to place ourselves in God’s gentle presence and the overwhelming truth about this sacrament is that God wants to heal us more than we want to be healed. Nothing gives Jesus greater joy than forgiving us of our sins. Through this sacrament, God seeks to remove our fears and guide us into future confidence that we are loved by a God that desires so much for us. Several priests will be available for reconciliation.
