I would like to let him know that the people of

THE VIRUS: A CAUTIOUS APPROACH

As noted last week at Mass, several decisions

have been passed down from the Cardinal

regarding the new virus and mass attendance.

1. The cup is suspended.

2. The Kiss of Peace is suspended.

3. Communicants are asked to receive in the

hand, not the tongue.

4. If anyone feels attending Mass is of serious

concern for their health, the obligation to attend

is suspended for now. Let us continue to pray for

a resolution to this pandemic that will allevi-

ate our nervousness.

LENTEN FASTING AND ABSTINENCE

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory

days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In ad-

dition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of

abstinence. The norms on fasting are obligatory

from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is

permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two

smaller meals that together are not equal to a full

meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat

are binding from age 14 onwards.

in funding the 51 central ministries that provide

assistance to our parishes, schools, and communi-

the size, is meaningful and can make an impact.

Your participation in this weekend’s campaign is

cesean Central Ministries. Thank you for your

generosity and support of the 2020 Catholic
