Ash Wednesday

February 14, 2018 begins our Lenten journey.

Ash Wednesday Schedule:

7:00 a.m. Mass St. Peter

9:00 a.m. Mass Assumption

12 Noon Prayer Service St. Peter 3:00 p.m. Prayer Service St. Peter

7:30 p.m. Mass Assumption

Ashes will be imposed only during Mass and during the Prayer Services.

Children who have not yet received the Sacrament of Reconciliation should not receive ashes because of their limited sense of personal sin.

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 en per day. Two other smaller meals are to be tak-en during the day to maintain physical strtak-ength, 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 specifically 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 contin-ues 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.

If you have a loved one who is homebound, you are permitted to bring ashes to them on Ash Wednesday. You may come to the sacristy after any Mass that day and pick up the ashes and the Prayer Service for you to follow.

Stations of the Cross will be prayed every Fri-day during Lent at 7 p.m. at Assumption Church in Spanish.

Miércoles de Ceniza

Febrero 14, 2018 comienza nuestro viaje cuaresmal

Horario de Miercoles de Ceniza: 7:00 a.m. Misa St. Peter

9:00 a.m. Misa Assumption

12 Mediodia Servicio de oracion St. Peter 3:00 p.m. Servicio de oracion St. Peter

Las cenizas se impondrán sólo durante la Misa y

durante los Servicios de Oración.

Si conoce a algún católico que no puede llegar a una de las misas o servicios de oración, pero que desea recibir cenizas, por favor llame a la

recto-ría y háganoslo saber.

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 abs-tinencia.

“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 física, pero estas dos comidas juntas no deben igualar una comida completa en cantidad. El ayuno obliga a todos los que han al-canzado la edad de 18 años y sigue obligando hasta los 59 años. Los que no están específicamente obli-gados a ayunar se les anima a participar en la disci-plina 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 obligando 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 SAN-TO son dias de ayuno y abstinencia. Viernes de cuaresma son dias de abstinencia.

Si usted tiene un ser quien es confinado a casa, le permiten traer cenizas a ellos el miercoles de Ceniza. Usted puede venir a la Sacristia despues de cualquier Misa de ese dia y recojer las cenizas y el servicio de oracion para que lo siga.

Estaciones de la cruz Se rezaran el Viernes a las 7 p.m. en la Iglesia Assumption (Español)
