Are you missing that special something during Lent? Join us for the Meditative Stations of the Cross.
Deacon Pat will lead the congregation with a descriptive explanation of each station in the Meditative Stations of the Cross on Friday, March 27th at 7pm. Due to the Meditative State of these stations, we ask that children 10 and below be taken to the Youth Room in the Social Hall for child care. Thank you. |

NORMS FOR FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020, and Good Friday, April 10, 2020, are days of fasting and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, Church law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the Parish Priest should be consulted.
Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and Catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and preparation for Initiation into the Church or the renewal of Baptism Promises at Easter.

CRS Rice Bowl is the Lenten program of Catholic Relief Services, the official relief and development agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Through CRS Rice Bowl, faith communities in every diocese throughout the United States put their faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Lenten alms donated through CRS Rice Bowl support the work of CRS in roughly 45 different countries each year. 25% of all donations to CRS Rice Bowl stay in the local diocese, supporting hunger and poverty alleviation efforts. Since its inception in 1975, CRS Rice Bowl has raised nearly $300 million.

**40 CANS 4 LENT**
40 Cans Lent Boxes: Middle School Youth Ministry has done a great job decorating the annual 40 Days for Lent Boxes.
The Knights of Columbus is once again sponsoring this Lenten opportunity to help stock the food pantries of Good Shepherd, the Alms House, and Catholic Charities, assist the Kids Assistance Program (KAP), and the Women of Charity Easter Basket project. Participants are asked to donate one non-perishable food item per day and to bring their donations to the Church each weekend so the items can be distributed during Lent to the various food pantries, and to KAP. Items needed for the food pantries include spaghetti, pasta sauce, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, rice, cereal, oatmeal, canned meats, vegetables, fruit, and tuna. Items needed for KAP include: gallon zip-lock freezer bags, tall kitchen garbage bags, plastic spoons, bottled water, single serve boxes of cereal, fruit snacks, individual 100% juice boxes, individual size shelf staple milk, pack of Cheese & Crackers (Please No Peanut Butter), “instant lunch” (in cup) Ramen Noodles w/vegetables, beef jerky sticks, and Chef Boyardee microwaveable pastas.
Last year we collected over 2100 items.
Boxes will be located in the Gathering Area by the Share Table and at the Entrances to Church and Social Hall beginning Ash Wednesday.
