Lent is the 40-day season of penance in preparation for the celebration of the redemption of the human race by Jesus Christ. Lent begins Ash Wednesday, March 1, and ends on Thursday, April 13, followed by the Sacred Triduum, April 13-15, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday followed by Easter Sunday, April 16.

The days of both Fast and Abstinence during Lent are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The other Fridays of Lent are days of Abstinence. On a day of Fast, only one full meal is permitted. Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast. On a Day of Abstinence, no meat may be eaten. Those who have reached the age of 14 are obliged by the law of abstinence.

The obligation to observe the laws of Fast and Abstinence “substantially,” or as a whole is a serious obligation.

The Fridays of the year, outside of Lent, are designated as days of penance, but each individual may substitute for the traditional abstinence from meat some other practice of voluntary self-denial as penance.

The time for fulfilling the Paschal Precept (Easter Duty) extends from the First Sunday of Lent, March 5, to the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, Sunday, June 11, 2017.

FAITHFULL FOOD DRIVE EVENT

A sincere thank you is extended to all who helped prepare for, and participated in, this event.

In preparation for the faithFULL Food Drive which will occur throughout the Camden diocese during the weekend of April 1 & 2, the families of our parish gathered to learn about whom this drive assists. With the help of our faithful parishioners, an education was provided for our families who helped to prepare for this event by getting handouts ready for the weekend before the drive.

faithFULL Food

Drive 2017

Again this year our Diocese will sponsor the Faithfull Food Drive. This year’s collection will take place on Sunday,

April 2nd. We will provide a list of needed items with a grocery bag (compliments of Bottino’s Shop Rite) the weekend prior to the collection. Please plan to help Bishop Sullivan assist those in need of food by responding generously! Thank you in advance for all you do for those in need in our Diocese. Last year, we collected over 2,000 pounds of needed items for our brothers and sisters in this area.
