As stewards and disciples of Christ, we recognize that all goods and riches in our lives are gifts from God. We respond to His generosity gratefully sharing them in service to others. Contact the Rectory, or give online to the Cardinal's Annual Stewardship Appeal 2015, "Sharing God's Gifts." Our goal is $53,000. www.cardinalsappeal.org
Please attend as many services as possible to make the most of the highpoint of the Christian year with its opportunities for reflection, transformation and joy.
Good Friday, April 3
Fasting and Abstinence: As Catholics following the precepts of the Church, we are asked to fast and abstain today. Fasting means consuming one full meal, or two small ones, if you are 14 to 59 years of age. However if you have a health concern or work that makes fasting inadvisable, you are not obligated. Abstinence means not consuming meat, although fish is allowed, and all Catholic age 14 and over are asked to abstain.
