Norms for fasting and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday, March 5, and Good Friday, April 18, are days of fasting and abstinence.
Catholics ages 18 - 59 years are required to fast. Fasting consists of eating only one meal, with the possibility of two smaller snacks that do not add up to one meal.
Catholics ages 14 years and older are to abstain from eating meat on all Fridays in Lent.

Novena of Grace in Honor of Saint Francis Xavier
March 4 - 12
Let's unite as a parish through the intercession of Saint Francis Xavier! It's traditional to pray the Novena for a particular intention; to ask for what you desire from God. We will pray together after each Mass. Or, you may pray on your own in the chapel (prayer cards will be available) or at home.
'Grace' is a traditional term used in the Catholic Church for a favor or free gift from God. It can be seen as the power within us that gives us the strength to reach out to others in generosity, care and love. When we ask God for a gift or favor, we acknowledge that He is the giver of all gifts.

Greener Lent is a Lenten program focused on justice for the poor who are most affected by climate degradation. By increasing the rigor of our traditional Lenten fast, we substantially reduce our personal environmental impact. This, plus our commitment to prayer and almsgiving, help turn our hearts to Christ as we prepare for his resurrection at Easter.
