We are reminded of the Catholic Church's laws for fast and
abstinence during Lent.
Good Friday is a day of fasting. Catholics between the ages of
18 and 59 are permitted one full meal and two lesser meals per
day (which together should not equal one full meal), with no
eating between meals.
All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Catholics who
are 14 years or older should abstain from meat entirely. Soups
and gravies made from meat are permitted. Please refer to your
flyer “Keeping a Holy Lent” for more information of activities for
Lent.
From the Common Core Task Force Bishop Estévez has
tasked a committee to study the Common Core State Standards and
develop a position statement for the diocese concerning this issue. The
committee would like to hear your comments and your ideas on this
topic. You may find the standards at corestandards.org. This will be a
true listening session and not a discussion or presentation. Due to time
constraints and so that everyone has a chance to be heard, comments
will be limited to three minutes. You are invited to attend any one of
five listening sessions to be held at the following locations:

WORD OF LIFE
“Our Lord calls us to imitate him more perfectly by witnessing to the
inherent dignity of every human being, including those whose actions
have been despicable. …we are called to oppose the culture of death by
witnessing to something greater and more perfect: a gospel of life, hope
and mercy.” — “Life Matters
Help Save Lives
Here is a great idea for a Lenten Sacrifice that will save lives. The
Respect Life Committee urges all parishioners to offer a Spiritual Bouquet
for the Unborn. Please fill out a card on the vestibule committing to the
sacrifice/s of your choice during Lent. Some options are offering Masses,
fasting, praying rosaries, making a Holy Hour of Adoration or a monetary
donation. Please tear off the ticket at the bottom of the card to keep for
yourself as a reminder of your sacrifice and put the other part of the card
in the St. Gerard Donation Basket.
PEACEFUL PRAYER March 26th, Fr. Kiran, along with the
Respect Life Committee would like to invite all to join us in peaceful
prayer at the Women's Health Center Abortion Clinic in Jacksonville. We
will be praying for one hour, from 11am-12pm. Our presence at the
abortion clinic offers hope to women and clinic workers and recognizes
the humanity of these children who are perishing. For more information or
to carpool contact Anna Martin (904) 392-7622.
