Obligatory Days of Fasting & Abstinence:

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. As long as you are in good health, 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. Catholics ages 14 and older are required to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays of Lent. The Catholic Church teaches that fasting and abstinence are acts of penance, or punishment for sin. These practices are done in imitation of Christ, who also undertook voluntary penance.

YOUTH Wall of Money $$$

You may contribute to the Youth Wall of Money, located in the church entrance, to help with expenses for VBS, Steubenville, JPII, and Trinity Youth Camp.  You can take an envelope corresponding to an amount or you can select a blank envelope and add the amount you choose.  As a thank you for your donation we would like to pray for any prayer intention that you might have while we are at these events.  Once you have completed your envelope you can turn it into the office, Amanda Page, or put it in the collection basket at Mass.

March 30, 2025; 4th Sunday of Lent

   April 6, 2025; 5th Sunday of Lent “…For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ…“ (philippians 3:8)

   The first commandment says that we should not put other gods before the Lord. Sharing all of our gifts - our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works, and our treasure to support the Church helps us keep God first in everything. It helps us from putting other gods before God. It helps us from becoming a slave to our possessions. It helps us to use our gifts for the glory of God and not for the glory of ourselves.

Prayer for Lent

During this Lenten season, I humbly pray that God's grace will guide me towards deeper faith, repentance, and a renewed sense of purpose, helping me to grow closer to Him and serve others with greater compassion. Guide me as I humbly seek to repent and return to your love. May humility guide my efforts to be reconciled with you and live forever in your abundant grace.
