abstinence. Abstinence is to be observed on Ash
Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all.
FAST: Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their sixtieth year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full
meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to
each one's needs, but together they should not equal
another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices
are allowed.

A message from Fr. Fitz relative to a few items of
interest:
Third Wednesday Eucharistic Adoration: Wednesday, Mar ch 16, 2016,
7:30-8:30 PM, upper church. Open to
all! Confession will also be available.
Eucharistic Adoration occurs once per
month on each month’s third Wednesday. Each month’s Adoration includes prayers and intentions that correspond to a particular theme, many
of which are related to Catholic Social Teaching.
March’s theme is the Church’s “option for the poor
and vulnerable.”

Young Adult Lent Rosary Series, 3/17 Ar e you tired
of just giving something up for Lent? Looking for
something to add as we fast and give alms in preparation for Easter? Join the YAC for our last gathering in
its series on the rosary. Pope Saint John Paul II gave
the Church a beautiful gift in the Luminous mysteries
of the rosary. We will discuss one of the Luminous
mysteries and conclude our meeting by praying the rosary together. The meeting will be held Thursday,
March 17, at 7:30 p.m., in the Lower Church. Please
bring a Bible and a rosary (we will have extras if needed). For further information, please contact Daniel or
Paul at [email protected].
No RSVP is required.
Young Adult Stations of the Cross/Soup Supper On
Friday, March 18, come join St. Columbkille's young
adults for the Stations of the Cross. Afterwards, come
fill your stomach while fulfilling your obligation to abstain from meat by enjoying a Lent-friendly soup and
salad meal with fellow young adults at St.
Columbkille’s rectory. The Stations begin in the upper
Church at 7 PM. Because Lent is about prayer, fasting,
and almsgiving, the St. Col’s YAC hopes that this
event will be an opportunity for us to do all 3 activities
together by praying the Stations, enjoying thereafter a
meatless meal, and contributing to a local food pantry.
To facilitate the latter, please bring a canned food item
that will be added to the donation that the St. Col’s
YAC will be making to a local food pantry. No RSVP
is necessary for the Stations. However, if you wish to
attend the soup supper afterwards, then please RSVP
here: yacsoupsupper.eventbrite.com

5º Domingo de Cuaresma
Acontecimientos importantes en nuestras vidas requieren
una buena planificación por lo que obtener el máximo
rendimiento de nuestra inversión de tiempo, esfuerzo y
dinero. Pensamos en lo que hace a la perfección vacaciones, o una boda espectacular, o un semestre en la escuela con éxito. La planificación es parte de la experiencia que nos imaginamos cada detalle y seleccionar
nuestras opciones. A menudo, la preparación puede ser
tan divertido como el propio evento. St. Paul nos da un
gran ejemplo de visión de futuro cuando le dice a los Filipenses que él no se detiene en el pasado, pero mantiene
su ojo en la línea de meta, seguir adelante para alcanzar
su objetivo. Él trabaja para cumplir su misión y lo hace
con un sentido de urgencia, no la nostalgia o arrepentimiento.
Aquí estamos un par de semanas de Pascua y una semana
de Semana Santa. Se nos presenta muchas oportunidades
para crecer en nuestro conocimiento y apreciación de lo
que Jesús hizo y lo que significa para nosotros. Los servicios y las oraciones únicas para este tiempo ofrecen una
rica experiencia litúrgica que explica y celebra el misterio
pascual. No se pierda. Planificar su horario para que usted
es testigo el valor del servicio ordenado, recibe el Cuerpo
y la Sangre de Cristo, camina el Camino de la Cruz, y se
regocijan en su resurrección. Renovado dentro de la carrera se ejecuta hacia el premio de la vida eterna.
