Upcoming Events at St. Francis de Sales - Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 14

Preparations for Lent

Palms for Ash Wednesday

Please bring in your old palms before Tuesday, February 16^th so that we can burn them to use for ashes. You may drop them off at the entrance of the church or bring them to the parish office.

Fast and Abstain On Upcoming Holy Days

The Church prescribes fasting (only one full meal and two smaller meals which together are not greater than a full meal) and abstinence from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics aged 18 – 59 are bound to fast; those 14 – 59 to abstinence. Those who are ill are freed from these obligations. Everyone, even those above the age of 59, are encouraged to fast and abstain. Parents and educators are reminded of their duty to introduce children gradually to the understanding and practice of penance.
