Lenten Regulations

Parish Office — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:13:11 +0000

1. By the law of God and the custom of the Church, all Christians are required to do penance.

2. The season of Lent retains its penitential character. The days of penance to be observed under obligation are Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of the Lenten season.

3. Abstinence from meat is to be observed on all Fridays of Lent. The law of abstinence and fast is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

4. The law of abstinence forbids the consumption of meat. The law of fasting permits only one full meal a day.

5. The law of abstinence binds those who have celebrated their 14th birthday. The law of fasting binds those who have celebrated their 18th birthday and continues until they have celebrated their 59th birthday.

6. Pastors and parents should take particular care to educate the young to a true sense of penance and self-discipline. More frequent use of the Sacrament of Penance and attendance at daily Mass should be encouraged during Lent, as well as other practices of penance and self-sacrifice.

7. The Fridays of the year outside Lent remain days of penance, but each individual may substitute traditional abstinence from meat with some other practice of voluntary self-denial or personal penance. These works should be considered a minimal response to the Lord’s call to penance and conversion of life.

8. All priests and deacons are delegated to grant dispensations to individuals, families or groups from their parish and visiting their parish.

Attention all FUTURE volunteers!

Parish Office — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:17:11 +0000

Stewardship is following Christ and sharing the talents He has given us by demonstrating our service and faith in gratitude. Here at St. Bernadette Parish we have a large and dedicated group of volunteers who help to make our Masses so wonderful.

However, we can always use more help, particularly at the 4 pm Mass on Saturday and the 8 am Mass on Sunday.

Please consider joining our team as an alter server, Eucharistic minister, sacristan, usher, or lector. The blue St. Bernadette Parish handbook in the vestibule has a description of each of these ministries. Contact Karen Graves in the parish office for more information and to sign up for training which will be held in January 2012.

Thank-you for considering your gift of stewardship to our parish!
