Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019 marks the beginning of Lent. The following fast and abstinence regulations are observed: • Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, April 19, 2019, are days of fast and abstinence. • Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence. • All Catholics who have reached their 14th birthday are to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and on all Fridays during Lent. • All Catholics over 18 years of age to the beginning of their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal and two smaller meals unless dispensed or excused.

Come and spend Monday afternoons during Lent reflecting on "The Mass", a study program from Bishop Robert Barron's "Word on Fire." Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. The sessions will be held over seven weeks on Monday afternoons from 1:00 - 2:30 PM in the parish Rectory Meeting Room. Sessions will begin on March 4 and conclude on April 15. If you would like to attend, or for more information, please call Cindy Brown at 570-836-4744. Click above to view a short video introduction.
