Abstinence The law of abstinence requires aCatholic 14 years of age until death to abstainfrom eating meat on Fridays in honor of thePassion of Jesus on Good Friday. Meat isconsidered to be the flesh and organs of mammalsand fowl. Also forbidden are soups or graviesmade from them. Salt and freshwater species offish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish arepermitted, as are animal derived products such asmargarine and gelatin which do not have any meattaste.

Fasting The law of fasting requires a Catholicfrom the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59thBirthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, ayear which will be completed on the 60thbirthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten fromnormal. The Church defines this as one meal aday, and two smaller meals which if addedtogether would not exceed the main meal inquantity. Such fasting is obligatory on AshWednesday and Good Friday. The fast is brokenby eating between meals and by drinks whichcould be considered food (milk shakes, but notmilk). Alcoholic beverages do not break the fast;however, they seem to be contrary to the spirit ofdoing penance.

Those who are excused from fast or abstinenceBesides those outside the age limits, those ofunsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant ornursing women according to need for meat ornourishment, manual laborers according to need,guests at a meal who cannot excuse themselveswithout giving great offense or causing enmityand other situations of moral or physicalimpossibility to observe the penitential discipline.

How exciting that we will soon be using our new Gather3rd Edition Hymnals – just in time for Easter! Ourdonation envelopes have also arrived, and for the low,low price of $20.00, you can donate or dedicate a hymnalin the memory of a loved one or an occasion!

You can pick up a special envelope available at eachentrance to the church or in the Parish office, fill it out(please include your phone number*) and put yourdonation inside ($20.00 per hymnal). There are threeways you can turn in donation money:

1. Turn it in with your Sunday contribution.

2. Mail it in or drop it off at the Parish Office, or

3. Stop by our fundraising table on March 21 and 22 aftereach mass that weekend. Choir members and I will be setup in the Gathering Space where we can help fill outenvelopes and collect donations.

*It is important that you put your phone number on theenvelope somewhere in case we have a question orcannot read your dedication.

It will probably take us a few weeks to process all thebookplates and collate all our donations, so please bepatient – it’s a lot of custom printing for us to do! Whenwe have affixed the bookplate with your dedication to theinside front cover of a hymnal, it will go directly into oneof the pews. Perhaps one day, you will come to mass andmight just sit right in front of the one you donated!

We will be publishing a list of donors in the bulletin as away to say Thank You for sponsoring a book, but also toconfirm that we have received your donation. If youhave made a donation and do not see your name in thebulletin after 3 weeks have gone by, please call the officeto make sure we have received your envelope. Pleaseallow 3-4 weeks after turning in your donation beforecalling the office; due to early printing deadlines, yourname will NOT be in the bulletin the weekendimmediately following your donation.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate totalk to me – in person or email!

Keep singing!
