Fast and Abstinence
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

FOOD Pantry
For over 20 years, Resurrection has operated its Food Pantry to help our neighbors in need. That need continues. In the past, our parishioners have been very generous, supporting the pantry with donations of food and funds. Those donations are still needed; please consider increasing your food donations during Lent.
