FORTY DAYS OF LENT - 2020
FASTING: Ages 18-59 fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, limiting themselves to one full meal and two smaller meals each day with no snacking between meals.
ABSTINENCE: Catholics age 14 and older abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays of Lent.
PRAYER: Catholic are encouraged to pray more during Lent especially with Scripture. Lent is also an ideal time to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for the celebration of Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection.
ALMS-GIVING: Moved by the sacrifice of Christ, many Christians combine alms-giving with fasting, by giving to the poor the money they saved by eating, drinking or buying less as they rely more upon God's abundant grace.
Daily Morning Mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish is at 8:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, in the convent chapel. The door opens at 7:30 a.m. Participating in a weekday Mass is an excellent Lenten activity for your spiritual well-being. Hope to see you there!
Fridays of Lent: Stations of the Cross & Evening Mass provide special spiritual opportunities: POLISH: 5:00 p.m. Stations of the Cross & 5:30 p.m. Mass; ENGLISH: 6:30 p.m. Stations of the Cross & 7:00 p.m. Mass.
