St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus
"Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return"
Dear Parishioners,
As a reminder, tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18th is ASH WEDNESDAY.
Ashes will be distributed at all the Masses:
- 6:45 am
- 9 am
- 12 noon
- 7 pm
and at a 3:30 pm Prayer Service.
Immediately following the 3:30 pm Prayer Service, the Family Stations of the Cross will begin. Our Regular Stations of the Cross will begin this Friday, February 20th at 7 pm.
FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday is a day of FASTING & ABSTINENCE:
FASTING requires that only one full meal be taken per day. Two other smaller meals may be taken during the day to maintain physical strength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in quantity. Nor is there eating between meals. Fasting obliges all those who have reached the age of 18 and continues to oblige through age 59. Those who are not specifically obliged to fast are encouraged to join in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able.
ABSTINENCE prohibits individuals from eating meat on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all those who have reached the age of 14 and continues to oblige throughout their lives. Those who are not specifically obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in the discipline of abstaining to the extent that they are able.
EASY TO REMEMBER:
Ash Wednesday & Good Friday—Fast & No Meat
All other Fridays of Lent—No Meat
