Landings is a Paulist Ministry designed to assist parishes in welcoming back inactive Catholics wanting to take another look at the church. We are a group of active Catholic volunteers from all walks of life and different Faith backgrounds that are in solidarity with the returning Catholic, as we represent that segment of the Church which has returned and continue to return through this participation. We are founded on the belief that we donβt have to be trained theologians to speak honestly about the faith; rather, we trust in the Holy Spirit for guidance.

βοΈ 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 18β59.
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
β€οΈ Almsgiving
Lent invites us to generosity β supporting those in need and strengthening our parish mission.
