This weekend there will be a second collec-tion, mandated by the Archdiocese of the New York, for Catholic Relief Services. The Catho-lic Relief Servie collection provides services for im-migrants, humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters, refuge for the displaced, and advocacy for peace and justice around the world. Let us join to-gether in this special collection to support those who are suffering and are on the margins of society. Este fin de semana habrá una segunda colec-ción ordenada por la Archidiócesis de Nueva York, para Catholic Relief Services. La colec-ción del Servicio Católico de Socorro ofrece ser-vicios para inmigrantes, ayuda humanitaria tras de-sastres naturales, refugio para los desplazados y pro-moción de la paz y la justicia en todo el mundo. Unamonos en esta coleccion al margen de la socie-dad.
Reglamentos de cuaresma
Durante la temporada de Cuaresma, la Iglesia insta a todos los fieles a reflejar un espíritu de penitencia en su
vida cotidiana mediante actos de ayuno y abstinencia. “Ayunando”. Requiere que solo se tome una comida
completa por día. Dos otras comidas más pequeñas se deben tomar durante el día para mantener la fuerza físi-ca, pero estas dos comidas juntas no deben igualar una comida completa en cantidad. El ayuno obliga a todos los que han alcanzado la edad de 18 años y sigue obli-gando hasta los 59 años. Los que no están específica-mente obligados a ayunar se les anima a participar en la disciplina de ayuno en la medida en que son capaces.
“Abstinencia” Prohíbe que las personas coman carne en un día determinado. La abstinencia obliga a todos los que han alcanzado la edad de 14 años y sigue ob-ligando durante toda su vida. Aquellos que no están específicamente obligados a abstenerse de comer carne son alentados a unirse a esta disciplina en la medida en que sean capaces.
MIERCOLES DE CENIZA Y VIERNES SANTO son dias de ayuno y abstinencia. Viernes de cuar-esma son dias de abstinencia.

Lenten Regulations
During the season of Lent, the Church urges all the faithful to reflect a spirit of penance in their daily life through performing acts of fast and abstinence.
“Fasting” requires that only one full meal be taken per day. Two other smaller meals are to be taken during the day to maintain physical strength, but these two meals together should not equal a full meal in quantity. Fasting obliges all those who have reached the age of 18 and continues to oblige until age 59. Those not spe-cifically obliged to fast are encouraged to join in the discipline of fasting to the extent that they are able.
“Abstinence” prohibits individuals from eating meat on a particular day. Abstinence obliges all those who have reached the age of 14 and continues to oblige throughout their entire life. Those not specifically obliged to abstain from eating meat are encouraged to join in this discipline to the extent that they are able.
ASH WEDNESDAY and GOOD FRIDAY are days of fast and abstinence. FRIDAYS in Lent are days of abstinence.
Stations of the Cross Stations of the Cross will be prayed:
• Fridays at 6 p.m. at St. Peter Church (English) • Fridays at 7 p.m. at Assumption Church
(Spanish)
