LENT
a time for prayer, penance, fasting, almsgiving, self-discipline

                                During Lent, St. Francis Church will have a 12:10 pm Mass on Mondays and Thursdays in addition to the regularly scheduled weekday Masses.

The weekday Mass normally scheduled for 6:30 am will now start at 6:15 am during Lent.

Stations of the Cross will be held every Friday evening during Lent at 7:00 pm.

Lenten Regulations

Abstinence—Everyone 14 years of age and over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.

Fast—Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 is required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is permitted. Two other meatless meals sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to each person’s needs, but together these two should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids (including milk and fruit juices) are allowed.

To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
