LENT AT ST. MARY’SLent is a time to return to the heart of your faith – the Lord! Acknowledge the importance of your relationship with God by the Sacrament of Confession and say – “I’m sorry.” Hear His words, “I forgive you, because I love you!”
REMEMBER DURING LENT:
FAST - Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 is required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
ABSTINENCE - Everyone 14 years of age and over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all of the Fridays of Lent.
On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is permitted. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to each person’s needs, but together these two should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids (including milk and fruit juices) are allowed.
