SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Lent is a very special time because it invites us to

spiritually renew ourselves and give more time to

prayer. This year, during the Season of Lent, we

will have a special spiritual activity on Wednesday

evenings. We will have a Holy Hour with Vespers

and Benediction at 7:30 P.M. The Wednesdays are:

Feb. 21, 28, March 7, 14 and 21. Each week the

Holy Hour will be designated for a special intention

- for the sick, the homebound, etc. We invite all our

parishioners to take advantage of this opportunity to

grow spiritually and to come and spend time in pray-

er with our brothers and sisters.

LENTEN REGULATIONS

ABSTINENCE - All the faithful who have reached

14 years of age are required to abstain totally from

meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent.

FASTING - All the faithful between the ages of 18

and 59 inclusive are bound to fast on Ash Wednes-

day and Good Friday. This practice involves limit-

ing oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food

between meals. Light sustenance may also be taken

on two other occasions during the day.

ASH WEDNESDAY - For the first time since 1945

the observance of Ash Wednesday falls on February

14th. Some have inquired about the possibility of

receiving a dispensation from the laws of fasting and

abstinence. Our observances of these spiritual prac-

tices unites us with Catholics throughout the world

as we commence a time of prayer and penance in

preparation for Easter. For this reason, NO DIS-

PENSATION will be granted from these universal

norms. Catholics who desire to celebrate Valentine’s

Day should consider doing so on Tuesday, Febru-

ary 13th, a day traditionally associated with festive

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY

Today we celebrate World Marriage Day, a

day to reflect on the importance and holiness of the

Sacrament of Matrimony. The Church recognizes that

marriage is a sacrament that couples live and celebrate

every day of their lives, as God has planned for them

to do. The love of husband and wife is a reflection of

Christ’s love for the Church. We ask God’s blessing on

all marriages. As a Catholic community, we support

and respect all our married couples. On this special

day, we invite all married couples to attend a World-

wide Marriage Encounter Weekend. On this weekend,

couples learn communication techniques that can en-

hance their marriage. The weekend is for every couple,

from newlyweds to those celebrating golden anniver-

saries.
