Welcome! We, the parish community of St. Michael Catholic
Church in Van Buren, Arkansas, know that we are part of the Body
of Christ. Our call is to make Christ present in our own lives and
the lives of those with whom we associate. We do this through
prayer, the celebration of the sacraments, religious education, and
the example of our lives of faith, hope, and love.

Collection for the Church in Central & Eastern Europe The second collection this weekend is for the Church in
Central and Eastern Europe. This collection supports Catholic organizations that provide affordable shelter and train
seminarians in a region that still struggles from the effects of Soviet rule. By providing pastoral care, catechesis, and
funding for building renovations, your donations help to restore the Church and build the future in the region. Please
give generously to the collection. Visit www.usccb.org (search "Church in Central and Eastern Europe") to learn more.

Laws of fasting and abstinence: 1. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. 2. The law of
fasting allows one full meal and two smaller ones. 3. The law of abstinence prohibits the eating of meat. 4. The Fridays
of Lent are days of abstinence in the United States. 5. The obligation of abstinence begins at age 14. 6. The law of
fasting obliges all between the ages of 18-59. 7. Pastors and parents are to see to it that minors, though not bound by the
law of fast and abstinence, are educated in the authentic sense of penance and encouraged to do acts of penance suitable
to their age. 8. All members of the Christian faithful are encouraged to do acts of penance and charity beyond what is
prescribed by the law.
