✝️ Fasting
Fasting helps us detach from distractions and open our hearts to God. The Church asks all Catholics to observe the following:
Required Catholic Fasting & Abstinence
Ash Wednesday & Good Friday
Fasting is required for Catholics ages 18–59.
One full meal
Two smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal
No snacking between meals
Abstinence from meat is also required for ages 14 and older.
All Fridays of Lent
Abstinence from meat for ages 14 and older.
Who is excused?
Those with medical conditions, pregnant or nursing mothers, the frail, and those whose health would be harmed are not bound by the fasting laws. The Church encourages them to choose another meaningful penance.
Voluntary Lenten Practices
Beyond the required norms, Catholics are encouraged to:
Reduce screen time
Limit unnecessary spending
Fast from negativity, gossip, or unhealthy habits
Add daily prayer or Scripture reading
❤️ Almsgiving
Lent invites us to generosity — supporting those in need and strengthening our parish mission.
Help the Padre Pio ministry feed the homeless.
For more information see the bulletin or contact the Parish Office.
Wherever you are in your faith right now, take one step closer to Christ this Lent.
We’re here to support you.

Your Fasting is Doing More Than You Think (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

During Lent in the month of March, we pray for all whose hearts are overwhelmed by sadness, despair, and guilt from participation in abortion. Be assured Jesus keeps on loving you, no matter what. God’s gift of hope allows you to expect His comfort as you grieve for the loss of your aborted children. The Lord’s mercy awaits you. Allow Him to heal you and lift your sadness into joy.

Durante la Cuaresma de marzo, oramos por todos aquellos cuyos corazones están abrumados por la tristeza, la desesperación y la culpa por haber participado en un aborto. Tengan la seguridad de que Jesús los sigue amando, pase lo que pase. El don de la esperanza de Dios les permite esperar su consuelo mientras lloran la pérdida de sus hijos abortados. La misericordia del Señor los espera. Permítanle sanarlos y convertir su tristeza en alegría.

Take a moment, pray with the Pope
About the campaign
Pray with the Pope is a global initiative of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network where the Holy Father shares his monthly prayer intention, an invitation to pray and mobilize for the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church, through The Pope Video and The Pope Audio.
Simple and accesible, it helps anyone, anywhere, take a moment to pray with the Pope and stay connected to the Church’s mission.
A welcoming Catholic parish with a spacious church, active ministries, and daily opportunities for prayer and worship, called to holiness and serve everyone with compassion and respect. Our community is blessed with dedicated volunteers, long hours of Eucharistic Adoration, and a full rhythm of liturgy with Masses offered in a variety of times and expressions for everyone.
