Tom: A new look: After months of delays and good intentions, we are finally transitioning into a new look for the weekly parish bulletin. My hope has been to re-organize how we present information in the bulletin so that we do it in a more consistent and eye-pleasing way. I have adopted a format from bulletins that I ran in my previous pastorates. For those with an interest in such things and with really sharp eyes, one will notice that there is a certain family resemblance between this bulletin format and the one over at St. Peter s. That s not a mistake but this will be the third generation continuing to evolve from the original pattern Fr. Bergbower and I used over 10 years ago over there. In the meantime, the St. Peter s bulletin has evolved in its own ways as well. Thus there are similarities, but they are hardly the same anymore! Please bear with us as we work to perfect the formatting and distribution of items. My hope is that, in time, parishioners will come to appreciate the new look and that the parish bulletin will continue to be an important way to communicate the events that take place in our parish, school, and community. The next job in front of us will be to polish up the new web page, and hopefully get that launched sooner, rather than later! Lenten Regulations: The Season of Lent began this year on Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2018 and will end just prior to the Evening Mass of the Lord s Supper on Holy Thursday, March 29, 2018, when the Paschal Triduum begins. Lent is the principal penitential season in the Church year. All the Christian Faithful are urged to develop and maintain a voluntary program of self-denial, serious prayer, and the performance of deeds of charity and mercy (including giving of alms), in addition to the following minimal Lenten disciplines: ABSTINENCE Everyone 14 years of age and over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. While abstinence is not required under the age of 14, it is laudable that parents teach children abstinence and other suitable acts penance as a way to learn and understand the true spirit of the Lenten season. FAST Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 is required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is permitted. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to each person s needs, but together these two should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Over age 59, it is laudable to follow the discipline of fasting on these days, but one should not scruple about modifying or breaking the fast at this age when matters of health and well-being come into question. Under age 59, when pregnant or nursing, performing significant manual labor, or suffering from a serious illness (a chronic illness such as diabetes or hypoglycemia, or a more immediate illness where fasting would not be healthy,) it may be morally impossible to follow this precept. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful. 2
