Black and Indian Missons
The annual NATIONAL BLACK AND INDIAN MISSION COLLECTION
was authorized by the Catholic Church in our nation in 1884 and has served the Black and
Native American communities ever since. The Collection was needed then and it is needed
today more than ever.
Our own Archdiocese of St. Louis recently received a
generous grant to be used for evangelization in our local church for our Black and Native
American members. This grant is from the proceeds of this national collection.
Please be generous. By doing so, you share in the
ongoing efforts to build up the Church in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

Friday, March 5, 2010. If you would like to read or sing please call Gretchen at 358-5876.
Archdiocesan Lenten Regulations
Then to all Christ said, "Whoever wishes to be my
follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps"
(Lk 9:23)
The Church has always helped us fulfill these words of
Jesus by prescribing very definite penance for all Catholics. Accordingly, the Pope and
the American bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows:
Ash Wednesday (February 17, 2010) and Good Friday
(April 2, 2010) are days of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. On these two
days, fast as well as abstinence is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18 to 59.
Abstinence means abstinence from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller
meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse
himself or herself from this obligation.
All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from
meat. Here again Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there were a
serious health problem, this obligation would not apply.
