Ask Father...
What is the role of the deacon in the Church? How does their training differ from
that of a priest?
On-Line Priest Q & A
Do you have a question about our Catholic faith that you want to ask a
priest but haven't had a good opportunity to ask it? Here's your chance!
Send your question to Caryn at the Rectory (330-467-7959)
or clintner@sbcglobal.net.
We will list your question anonymously on the new Ask Father
page, and a priest will answer your question.

Prayer for Lent
Good and loving God,
each year you give us this season of Lent to turn our hearts and minds back to you. May the prayer
we offer during this season draw us closer to you in love as we seek forgiveness for our sins.
May our fasting help us see that even as this world is a gift from you it is still passing away and
will not endure. May our almsgiving honor you as we care for our brothers and sisters whose need is
great and whose hope is in you.
Help us in this holy season to be reconciled with you and with any whom we have harmed so that we may
celebrate an Easter of eternal joy. Amen.

Click here for a complete list of Lenten Observances -
Stations of the Cross, Confessions and Boy Scout Fish Fries.
LENTEN OBLIGATIONS and OBSERVANCES
Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Fasting means partaking of only one full meal; some food is acceptable to be eaten at the other two
meal times. (Anyone who is ill or who has medical concerns is not obliged to fast.) With regard to
Good Friday, the teaching of the Second Vatican Council should be recalled: “Let the paschal fast
be kept sacred. Let it be celebrated everywhere on Good Friday, and where possible, prolonged
throughout Holy Saturday, so that the joys of the Sunday of the Resurrection may be attained with
uplifted and clear mind.”
In addition, all Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good
Friday, and all Fridays of Lent. |
