The Season of Lent
March 6 - April 18,  2019
 

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.

For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

Why Offertory Envelopes are Important?

Placing of envelopes in the collection basket teaches our children the importance of supporting the Church. We encourage you to continue giving envelopes during offertory even if you are donating on-line, because evelopes is the best, and sometimes the only way to know your participation in our parish. If you are giving electronically, please check the “I give electronically” on the envelope before dropping them into the collection basket.
 

How Much should I Give to the Parish?

People ask me all the time about tithing. Should we give ten percent of our income to the Church? Is that before taxes or after taxes? How much should I give to the parish? How much should I give to all the charities that send me things in the mail? The older I get the more requests I get in the mail. Sometimes they make me so sad, the pictures of starving children in war torn parts of the world. Sometimes they send me a little gift or a penny. These make me feel particularly guilty. What should I do?

The first thing you have to realize is that the observant Israelite didn’t give ten percent. If he was following all the rules laid down in the Law he was giving about twenty five percent! So what is the percent? Twenty five percent? If you are a Christian you give 100 percent! Here’s what I mean. When you give your life to Christ, you give Him everything. - Fr. Simon
