Lent Season 2024

As part of our Lenten Journey the Church obliges

  • To abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during Lent.
    All those who celebrated their 14th birthday are obliged to do so.
  • To fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
    All who have celebrated their 14th birthday up to the age of 59 are obliged to do so. On those days, we may eat one full meal and two smaller meals, no other food should be consumed at other times during those days.

In addition the Lord is calling each one to:

  • Participate fully and actively in Weekend Mass
