Schedule of Masses, Devotions,
Liturgies and Reconciliation.
We Keep Lent
Abstinence from meat is to be
observed by all Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday and all
Fridays of Lent.
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday
and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 59.
Eating solid food between meals is not permitted.
By the threefold discipline of fasting,
almsgiving and prayer, the Church keeps Lent from Ash Wednesday until the
evening of Holy Thursday. Participation in daily Mass and fasting is
strongly recommended.
We are encouraged to be generous in sharing
with those in need in order to implement the right of the poor to their
part of our abundance.

Morning Prayer on Weekdays and Saturdays
We have begun praying the official daily prayer of the Church, the Liturgy
of the Hours, Monday through Friday after the 8 a.m. mass and on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. Join us in the Sacred
Heart Chapel (the daily chapel) and learn how to pray Morning Prayer.
This is what the
Second Vatican Council says about the Liturgy of the Hours: Christ Jesus,
High Priest of the new and eternal covenant, taking human nature,
introduced into this earthly exile the hymn that is sung throughout all
ages in the halls of heaven. He joins the entire human community to
himself, associating it with his own singing of this canticle of divine
praise.
For he continues his priestly work through the agency of the Church, which
is unceasingly engaged in praising the Lord and interceding for the
salvation of the whole world. The Church does this not only by celebrating
the Eucharist, but also in other ways, especially by praying the divine
office.
By tradition going back to the early Christian times, the divine office is
so arranged that the whole course of the day and night is made holy by the
praises of God. Therefore, when this wonderful song of praise is rightly
performed . . . then it is truly the voice of the bride addressing her
bridegroom; it is the very prayer that Christ himself, together with his
Body, addresses to the Father.
Hence all who render this service are not only fulfilling a duty of the
Church, but are also sharing in the greatest honor of Christ’s Bride, for
by offering these praises to God they are standing before God’s throne in
the name of the Church, their Mother (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,
nos. 83-85).
The Council talks about the Liturgy of the Hours as “this hymn” and “song
of praise.”
Don’t worry, we’ll be reciting the psalms.
