St. Julia Parish invites you to Our Lenten Observance: Soups + Stations
Friday, March 22, 5:30PM
Please join our parish community for this Lenten meal and devotion for families. Meatless soup will be offered at 5:30PM in the Parish Hall, followed by the Stations of the Cross at 6:30PM, where we will meet in the Church to meditate on the last hours of Jesus’ life and how we can unite our sacrifice and service with His service. All are welcome!
Please sign-up at the back of either St. Julia or St. Joseph churches!
LENTEN PRACTICE OF ABSTINENCE & FASTING FROM MEAT
Catholics over 14 years of age are bound to the obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all. Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed.
