For Holy Thursday: Need to set up of chairs, items for the washing of disciples’ feet, preparing our Hall for Adoration. For Good Friday’s Veneration of the Cross: See Tish or Barbara For the Easter Vigil requires many hands to set up chairs and a table in the parking lot (and taking them down later), set up the fire pit for the new fire, decorations of the Church. Can you give some time to help on any or all these dates? Contact Tish Vandiver or Barbara Crecco, please. Many hands make light work.

Contact info 158 Falling Water Way 910 271 6808 Lenten Penance Services in the Diocese 3/27 Tue Holy Spirit Kinston 7 PM RCIA: This Sunday we enter into Holy Week, that leads us into the celebration of Easter, the Resurrection of Jesus. Easter, in many ways is a "New Beginning" in the life of the Church. The liturgy of Easter Vigil, which takes place on the evening of Holy Saturday is sometimes called the "Mother of all Liturgies." That's when the Church is resurrected, or "born again", and the life of the Church starts anew. New Catholics will be received into the Church by receiving Easter Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. Those who have been baptized in other Christian Traditions enter into the full Communion with the Church by making their "Profession of Faith", and then receive Confirmation and First Eucharist. Those who have never been baptized any any Christian Tradition will receive Baptism, and then also Confirmation and First Eucharist.

Geri will give you available dates and get your request on the calendar. 2. Mass cards are provided for you to send to the individual or family of the individual for whom the Mass is being offered. 3. The usual offering for a Mass intention is $10.00. Offerings may be cash or check made out to Transfiguration of Jesus Catholic Church. You may give your offering to Geri and she will see that it gets in the collection and labeled Mass
Intentions. Alternately you may place your offering directly in the collection basket. If you place in the collection basket be sure to label Mass Intentions and indicate that Mass is on the calendar. This information will be helpful to the counters, so they know the Mass has been scheduled and further follow up is not necessary. 4. Each week the Mass Intentions are in the bulletin stating the individual for whom the Mass is being offered and who requested it. 5. Father announces the intention of the Mass and it is also included in Prayer of the Faithful To schedule a Mass intention, or if any questions contact Geri Cullen either by phone or email.

Fast & Abstinence Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. 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. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. Members of the Eastern Catholic Churches are to observe the particular law of their own sui iuris Church. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection. Christian tradition can name at least seven reasons for fasting: 1. From the beginning, God commanded some fasting, and sin entered into the world because Adam and Eve broke the fast. 2. For the Christian, fasting is ultimately about fasting from sin. 3. Fasting reveals our dependence on God and not the resources of this world. 4. Fasting is an ancient way of preparing for the Eucharist—the truest of foods. 5. Fasting is preparation for baptism (and all the sacraments)—for the reception of grace. 6. Fasting is a means of saving resources to give to the poor. 7. Fasting is a means of self-discipline, chastity, and the restraining of the appetites.
