✛✛✛✛✛ CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS for Tax Year 2009: We sincerely appreciate your patience with the difficulty we're experiencing. As you know, there was a major database failure in our office computer system that caused the loss of contribution information for a great many families. The problem is extensive, and will take us many weeks to correct. We've hired a temp to work on re-entering the information and we ask your indulgence as we try to resolve this issue. For the time being, please use your own records to calculate your total contributions to our parish for the period between January and December 2009. Thanks, Fr. Mark |

Lenten Rules of Fasting and Abstinence:
Fasting means a limit of one full meal for all
adults between the ages of 18 and 59. On fast
days, two additional smaller meals are
permitted, but together they may not equal one full
meal. Eating solid foods between meals on fast days
is not permitted, but liquids including milk and fruit
juices are allowed. Abstinence prohibits the eating of
meat (beast or fowl), but not eggs, milk products, or
condiments of any kind even though made from
animal fat. This obligation is for all Catholics 14 years
old and older. All Fridays during Lent are days of
abstinence, and Good Friday is a day of fasting and
abstinence.

A MESSAGE ABOUT GOLGOTHA:
Everyone knows that producing and staging a dramatic play is an expensive undertaking, even on a small scale such as ours. Yet, even before rehearsals began, all those involved in the project agreed that NO PARISH FUNDS WILL BE REQUESTED OR USED FOR THIS PRODUCTION. God is helping us to keep that promise through many generous donations and significant fundraising. We're very grateful to all those who have demonstrated their confidence in us. We hope and pray that the work we offer will be pleasing to the Lord, and of benefit to his beloved people. God bless you all!
