During the month of February, our Social Concerns Ministry is asking parishioners to donate $10
for the purchase of “Shelter Kits” for the homeless in our area. The kits each consist of a rain
poncho, a 5x7 tarpaulin and a safety blanket. The kits will be distributed to clients of the North
Highlands Christian Food Bank, The Gathering Inn and What Would Jesus Do? Your donation will
help keep our needy neighbors dry and warm during this wet winter season. Please place your
donations in the designated Social Concerns envelopes and place them in the collections. Thank You!
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE BISHOP OF THE SACRAMENTO DIOCESE
2016 Lenten Regulations and Admonitions
Lent this year begins on Ash Wednesday, February 10. Lent
prepares the faithful to celebrate the Paschal Mystery of
Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection. It is a time for
reflection and spiritual renewal, a time to examine one’s
relationships with God and with others. The Church also calls
Catholics to a spirit of penance, above all to practice the “Acts
of Religion”: fasting, prayer and almsgiving, “which express
conversion in relation to oneself, to God, and to others.”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos.1969 and 1434).
During this Year of Mercy, the faithful are especially
encouraged to take full advantage of the Sacrament of
Reconciliation, and for parishes to offer ample opportunity
for them to do so.
I. FASTING AND ABSTINENCE. To foster the spirit of
penance and of reparation for sin, to encourage self-denial,
and to guide us in the footsteps of Jesus, Church law requires
the observance of fast and abstinence (CCC, nos. 1249-1253).
1. Abstinence: All persons, 14 years and older, are obliged to
abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent.
2. Fasting: Everyone, from ages 18 to 59, is obliged to fast on
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Voluntary fasting on other
weekdays of Lent, especially on Wednesdays and Fridays, is
highly recommended. Fasting is generally understood to
mean that one full meal may be eaten. Two other small meals,
sufficient to maintain strength, may be eaten; but together
they should not equal another full meal. Eating between
meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
II. PRAYER. In order to deepen one’s love for Christ, Catholics
are urged to read and pray with sacred Scripture; to study the
Catechism of the Catholic Church; to participate in devotions
offered by the parish; and to pray more fervently individually, as families, and in common with others.
1. Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation: Lent is a
privileged time for celebrating this sacrament. Parishes
generally make readily available the Sacrament of Penance,
including its communal celebration.
2. Lenten Mass Schedule: The faithful are urged to attend
Mass on weekdays as often as possible.
3. The Stations of the Cross are to be celebrated publicly in
each parish on Fridays during the Lenten season.
Page 3
Parishioners are urged to participate.
4. Day of penance and prayer, Wednesday, March 9, 2016 A
day of penance for negative attitudes and discrimination
toward people of differing cultures, ethnicity and race; and
prayer for unity in our diversity, for equality, mutual respect
and peace among all peoples is to be
observed.
5. Wedding Masses may not be celebrated during the Easter
Triduum, on Sundays of Lent, Ash Wednesday, or during Holy
Week. Marriages may take place at other times during Lent
according to the proper liturgical norms and provisions, but it
is contrary to the penitential spirit of the season to have
elaborate weddings or lavish receptions.
6. Funeral Masses may not be celebrated on Holy Thursday,
Good Friday, or Holy Saturday, nor on the Sundays of Lent.
7. Mass may not be offered on Holy Saturday, March 26,
2016. The Easter Vigil (March 26) is celebrated after nightfall,
generally understood to be 30 minutes after sunset.
8. Easter Duty: All Catholics who have been initiated into the
Holy Eucharist are bound to receive Holy Communion
worthily at least once during the Easter Season: Easter
Sunday, March 27 through Pentecost, May 15. (In the United
States, the Easter duty may be fulfilled through Trinity
Sunday, May 22) Catholics are encouraged to receive
Communion as often as possible, not only during Eastertide,
but throughout the liturgical year. However, “Anyone
conscious of a grave sin must receive the Sacrament of
Reconciliation before coming to Communion.” (CCC, no. 1385)
III. ALMSGIVING. The act of giving to the poor, in the most
ancient tradition of the Church, is an expression of penance, a
form of piety, a witness of fraternal charity and an expression
of Lenten conversion. Therefore, all Catholics are urged to
support generously the charitable works of the Church,
including ordinary stewardship to their parish.
