Piggy Banks for the Martinton Food Pantry
Anyone can get piggy banks to give money for the Martinton Food Pantry in the back of church. This isn’t just for the kids. We would also like to get food donations to give to the pantry. Please help by giving to others this Lenten season!!!
There is a basket in the back of church to empty your banks & drop off money each week.

Soup & Sandwich Supper
CCW will be serving soup and sandwiches after our 4p.m. Mass on Saturday, March 5th. Please come and enjoy fellowship with others.
Hope to see you there!

LENTEN REGULATIONS
& THE EASTER TRIDUUM
Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and ALL Fridays of Lent.
Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each ones’ needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.
To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer and a performance of works of charity and mercy.
