LENTEN GUIDELINES

FASTING is observed by all 18 years of age or older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday.  On a fast day, one full meal is allowed.  Two other meals sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to each ones needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices are allowed. 

ABSTINENCE is observed by all 14 years of age and  older on Good Friday and Friday’s during Lent. On days of abstinence, no meat is allowed.  Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt  concerning fasting and abstinence, the parish priest should be   consulted. 

Fasting, Almsgiving and Prayer are three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful should undertake these practice seriously in a spirit of penance and the renewal of baptism at Easter.


CATHOLIC APPEAL 2023

Faith in Action. It all starts with YOU - Click HERE to view video

One of the most meaningful ways that we deepen the impact of our Archdiocese’s schools, parishes, and   ministries is by supporting the Catholic Appeal. The Appeal is a primary means by which we carry Christ’s light into darkness and deepen the impact of our Church’s ministries, many of which directly benefit our parish. Your partnership and participation carry Christ’s love into our communities in numerous ways.

Many of you may have received a letter from Cardinal Seán requesting your early support of the 2023 Catholic Appeal. We hope that you will respond to his invitation with a generous gift, knowing that each contribution transforms faith into action.Thank you in advance for helping Our Lady’s Parish meet its assessed goal.


EARTHQUAKE RELIEF COLLECTION - FEBRUARY 18/19, 2023

The images coming out of Turkey and Syria following the February 6, 7.8 magnitude earthquake, are showing the world that the people there are experiencing immense suffering, destruction, and death. There are reports that the death toll has surpassed 19,000 and continues to rise.  Recognizing the growing need for assistance, Cardinal Seán has asked that a special collection be taken this weekend February 18/19 in all parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.

Funds raised will help to provide safe shelter, and access to food, clean water, and hygiene supplies. Special bins will be marked at the entrances/exits of the church for your donations.  You can donate by check, cash or by credit card by scanning the code to the right with your phone.  Scroll down and make General Donation to Parish and marking “Turkey/Syria Earthquake Relief”.  Please make checks payable to Our Lady’s Parish and in the memo please write “Turkey/Syria Earthquake Relief”. Thank you in advance for your kindness and compassion.
