Fasting and Abstinence
 

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics.  In additions, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.  When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal.  Two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal.  The norms concerning abstience from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.  If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.

Next week, our parish will take up the 135th annual National Black and Indian Mission Collection. Our support of this collection helps build the Church in African American, Native American, and Alaska Native communities from coast to coast. Schools, parish religious education programs, and ministries in our Diocese depend on your generosity to help them spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ!  To learn more, please visit https://blackandindianmission.org/aboutus/bimo-collection.

Our Lady of Mercy has initiated a nightly prayer request for our country.  We ask that every night at 8pm that you stop whatever it is you are doing and take a minute or so to ask God to bring harmony, faith and peace back to this great nation of ours.  Ask God to bless America, to please send St. Michael the Archangel to fight evil in our country.  Prayer changes things, let us make a joyous noise.

For your child's safety, please pick up your children (Grades Kindergarten - 7)from the parish hall after class.  Please park in a paking space, not in the lanes in front of the church or hall to wait for your children to come out.  Stopping or parking in the lanes blocks the traffic flow of peaople arriving for Mass or leaving the church.  Thank you for your cooperation.  God Bless.
