LITURGICAL TRIBUTE FUND
One of the most important things that we do when someone close to us dies is to honor their memory. As a way to do that, we have started the Saint John of the Cross liturgical Tribute Fund. All money that is donated to this fund in memory of a love one or friend will be used to purchase items utilized in our worship and help us to do all that we can to assure that we have what we need to worship well.

LENTEN REGULATIONS REGARDING FASTING AND ABSTINENCE:
Our observance of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5th, a day of fast and abstinence for Catholics. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection. Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of complete abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year.

AN EVENING OF CONFESSION-MARCH 12TH
The readings today are timeless. They point to the reality of a world with many temptations and promises for a “better life” on our spiritual journey. Just as many before us here on earth from the time of Adam and Eve, to today, we face many challenges that keep us from being faithful to God and find ourselves in need of reconciliation with God and with
one another. It is in the Sacrament of Penance that we are able to feel God’s love and mercy. It is an opportunity to feel a graced moment on our spiritual journey. During the Rite of Penance after we have confessed our sins, received guidance and a penance from the priest, we receive a blessing and absolution. In that blessing we are reminded that our
sins are forgiven. We are reminded of how much God loves us and we are challenged to do our best to avoid sin and live in God’s love. Pope Francis reminds us, “Let us not forget this word: God never ever tires of forgiving us… the problem is that we ourselves tire, we do not want to ask, we grow weary of asking for forgiveness. He never tires of forgiving, but at times we get tired of asking for forgiveness.” This coming Wednesday, March 12th from 5:00–8:00pm we all have an opportunity to ask for forgiveness. You are invited to “An Evening of Confession”, an opportunity for individual confession at any parish church in the Diocese of Cleveland. We encourage you to invite someone you know to return to church, practice their faith and know they are welcome home.
