Lent
Lent is a 40-day season in imitation of Christ's time in the desert in preparation for His public ministry. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture, we serve by giving alms, and we practice self-control through fasting.
Abstinence is the act of “doing without,” or avoiding something. Catholics over the age of 14 are expected to abstain from eating meat during Lent on all Fridays, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday in honor of the Passion of Jesus. Fasting is the act of doing with less - to abstain from normal amounts of food.
Fasting is obligatory for those ages 18 – 59 without major health concerns on both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 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.
Palms
Please place your palms from previous years in the basket in the church foyer to be burned for Ash Wednesday. Palms will be burned Monday, February 16 after the 6:00 p.m. Mass.

February 15: Lent
As we prepare to enter the season of Lent, our catechumens and candidates are entering a final and more intense time of preparation. It is considered a period of purification and enlightenment and will include two of the three scrutinies. These are solemn rites which give spiritual strength to the catechumens. On Saturday, February 21 our catechumens and candidates will participate in the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. This marks the time when the catechumens will affirm their commitment to enter the Church. After this rite, they are called the elect as they journey through Lent and towards their sacraments of initiation.
Please email Kevin or Evan: StolafOCIA@gmail.com or contact the Office with questions.
Please pray for those on their faith journey, especially for those in our OCIA program this year preparing to enter the Church at Easter.

Our Mission
PRAYER TO MAKE A “SPIRITUAL COMMUNION”
Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “When you cannot receive Communion and cannot attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you.”
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
please come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you now
as if you were already there
and I unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen
