  • List of books related to Lent
• RCIA prayer cards
  
  • We are asking for prayers for our RCIA candidates as they prepare to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. On Ash Wednesday, pick up a prayer card for one of the candidates or catechumens, pray for him or her during Lent, sign and return the prayer card to the church by Palm Sunday. Thank you for praying for our candidates and catechumens during Lent.
• Lenten Disciplines and Regulations
  
  • Prayer– Possible ways to observe: Attendance at Sunday and weekday Mass, Spiritual Reading, Praying the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, Family Prayer including Question of the Week, attend a Parish Retreat and the Lenten Parish Mission.
  • Fasting-By Church Law, Catholics, ages 18-58 are to take only one full meal and two lesser meals on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. There is no eating between meals. All Catholics over the age of 14 are to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, and all Fridays during Lent.
  • Almsgiving or Giving to the Poor -Possible ways to observe: Contribute to the Ash Wednesday collection for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, participate in the Rice Bowl Program, Contribute to Catholic Relief Services on Sunday, April 3. There is a long tradition of combining acts of almsgiving with acts of fasting thus making both disciplines more meaningful.
