Ash Wednesday & GOOD FRIDAY
ARE DAYS of Fast and Abstinence

All Fridays during Lent are days of Abstinence

Fasting
means one full meal plus two partial meals, together not equaling one full meal, and not eating between meals for all ages 18-60 in good health.

Abstinence
means abstaining from all meat for all ages 14 and over.

 

Rice Bowls

Each Lent, Catholic families unite to put their faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving with Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl. Families learn how our sisters and brothers across the globe overcome hardships like hunger and malnutrition, and how through Lenten alms, we have the power to make the world a better place for all.

loaves and fishes food drive

A month-long food drive sponsored by the AM Youth Ministry during March, collecting non-perishable food for our sister parish, St Lawrence of Brindisi in Watts. Please support our teens with your food donations.
