First Sunday of Lent
Stations of the Cross will be on Friday at 6:00 PM throughout Lent.
Ember Days: Traditional days of fast and partial abstinence are Friday (complete abstinence), and Saturday, February 26th and 27th. This observance was originally instituted to encourage the faithful to pray and do penance for new priests. Please offer your prayers and sacrifices on these days that God may inspire more men to offer themselves for this holy ministry and for the perseverance of those already ordained.
Special Second Collection on February 28th will be taken for H.E. Bishop Fellay in appreciation for Confirmations. Thank you for your generosity.
