Finally (weather permitting) our first Fish Fry of the year takes place this Friday February 27.  Fish Frys continue every Friday during Lent (March 27) from 5 until 8 PM in the Parish Center.  All are welcome!

As you know, many hands make light work and our Fish Frys are no exception!  We are in need of volunteers to work the Fish Fry, as well as monitor the playground.  Without volunteers, we cannot keep this great fellowship going and unless we have adults to monitor the playground, we will have to shut it down as a play area.  If you bring children and allow them to play outside, you are expected to volunteer a shift.  Below are the links to both volunteer sign-up sites, as well as a telephone contact and email address, should you have questions.  Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all there!

Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years and older.

Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.

Ash Wednesday is February 18th.

Lenten materials are now available on the tables in the back of church. For daily reflection there is the “Little Black Book”. For various Lenten meditations there is a brochure entitled “the WORD among us”.  If you want to participate in the CRS Rice Bowl, there are Rice Bowls on the table also. Please take advantage of these materials.
