Forms of Penance: Abstinence - Fasting - Almsgiving
Abstinence from meat is observed by all Catholics 14 years of age and older
on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics
between the ages of 18 and 59 . However, all medical concerns are to be
respected.
Almsgiving: There are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of
our neighbors in their spiritual and bodily needs. Giving alms to the poor
is a witness to fraternal charity; it is also a work of justice pleasing to
God. In our parish and community, food or money may be donated to the food
bank to help the needy. The food bank is now under the leadership and the
one who chairs all meetings is Corporal Boyd Merrill. Each Sunday of Lent we
are asking the parish community to bring a specific food item for our food
bank. ( Juice, sugar, beans, kraft dinner, tin milk, tin meat and other such
items). On Holy Thursday, the day of the Lord’s Supper, the church asks us
to remember the needy by bringing offerings of food. Thank you for your
support and Christian charity.
Flowers In Memorial
During the Lenten Season, the church does not encourage Flowers to be used
as a decoration . However, it is normal to use “some “ flowers during a time
of funeral for pastoral reasons. Parishioners are encouraged to give
consideration to donating to a charity of your choice in lieu of flowers for
a funeral. We encourage individuals to donate your offering to our parish to
assist us with the many needs of our church. As you know , the flowers
donated during a time of a funeral last only a few days in our church and in
reality, we see hundred s of dollars thrown out in the garbage immediately
after a funeral. Please consider donating to your church in lieu of flowers
and your donation will go to a good cause.
