On Sunday, March 31st, after the 10 AM Mass we will have our third gathering to discuss the proposal given us by our charter school, Yu Ming, that rents our school building. We hope that this will be the last time we have a formal discussion and that at the end of April we will take a poll of the members to give this proposal an up or down vote. Please plan on attending this meeting so that all of us can be informed about this decision.
The Church teaches that Catholics in good health are to observe the following practices during Lent unless for some serious reason they are unable to do so. Fast—Catholics from age 18-59 are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On a fast day, one limits oneself to one full meal and two smaller meals, with no snacking between meals. Abstinence—Catholics of age 14 and older abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. Please note that if you are not within the above age ranges, you are not required to follow the guidelines for fast and abstinence. If you are pregnant, diabetic, or have other dietary restrictions, you should follow your health professional’s guidelines.
