LENTEN REGULATIONS
The Diocese of Santa Rosa observes the following discipline during Lent:
•
Fridays of Lent and Good Friday are days
of abstinence from meat for all persons who
have completed their fourteenth year of age.
It is highly recommended that children from
ages seven to fourteen years also follow the
law of abstinence.
•
Good Friday is also a day of fast. The law of
fasting permits only one full meal a day, but
it does allow the taking of some food in the
morning and a second light meal at noon or
in the evening, as you prefer. Persons who
have completed their eighteenth year to the
beginning of their sixtieth (60) year are obligated to fast.
•
All Catholics are encouraged to receive Holy
Eucharist frequently during Lent and to receive the Sacrament of Penance so that all
may be prepared to celebrate more fully the
paschal mystery. Those who have received
their first Holy Communion are to receive
Holy Communion during the Easter season.
Easter season begins with Easter Sunday and
continues through May 24 (Pentecost Sunday).
CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS
The Catholic Daughters have changed or meeting
date to the second Thursday of each month. The
next meeting will be on March 12 at 1:30 p.m. in
the Youth Room. All ladies are invited to attend.
We also pray the Rosary on the second Saturday
of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the Redwood Memorial Hospital Chapel. Please join us in prayer.
If you have any questions, please call Barbara
Baumgart at 725-3565.
WOMEN’S SOCIETY MEETING
The Women’s Society will meet on Tuesday,
March 10 at 7 p.m. For questions, please call
Darlene at 725-4090.

NEXT WEEK’S SECOND COLLECTION
ST. JOSEPH PANTRY SHELF
This week’s second collection is for the St. Joseph
Pantry Shelf. This ministry of our parish provides
food for those who otherwise would go hungry.
Each month our pantry shelf assists households in
the Fortuna area who otherwise would not have
enough to eat. Our dedicated staff makes all this
happen. Your assistance in this ministry is greatly
appreciated. One of the traditions of Lent is almsgiving. This ministry is a wonderful way to follow
our Catholic tradition of helping those less fortunate. Thank you for your generosity.
