What Is That In Front Of The Altar The Crown of Thorns surrounded by a red cloth representing the Blood Jesus shed for our sins. The purple encases the two representing royalty and the circle is the never ending love the Father has for us. The thorns on the floor stained with red reminds us of the pain Jesus endured for our unfaithfulness and the nails, his ultimate sacrifice.

The Five First Saturdays Devotion Our Lady of Fatima Promised all the Graces Necessary for Heaven if a Catholic Finished the Five First Saturdays Devotion "Whether the world has war or peace depends on the practice of this devotion, along with the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is why I desire its propagation so ardently, especially because this is also the will of our dear Mother in Heaven." - Sr. Lucy (March 19, 1939) During her July 13 apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to Lucia, "I shall come to ask...that on the First Saturday of every month, Communions of reparation be made in atonement for the sins of the world." On December 10, 1925 Our Lady completed her request for the Five First Saturdays and gave her great promise. "...Tell them that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five successive months, go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour, meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary."

ARCHDIOCESAN LENTEN REGULATIONS For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. (John 3:16-17) The Church has always helped us fulfill these words of Jesus by prescribing very definite penance for all Catholics, so that we too might have Eternal life. Accordingly, the Pope and the American Bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows: Good Friday (March 25, 2016) is day of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. On these two days, fast, as well as abstinence, is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18-59. Abstinence means refraining from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obligation. All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence from meat. Here again Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there is a serious health problem, this obligation would not apply. We should strive to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance. A Marriage Encounter weekend is like springtime because it is a weekend of fresh air, restoration and a rich fullness of life. If you would like to make your marriage even more special than it already is, apply for a weekend on April 22-24 or August 5-7.
